Low level modules for the FIX protocol

#Low Level FIX

This project aims to provide very low level modules which can be combined to produce a FIX protocol handler (server, client, router, etc.).

Consider the current implementation, at best, late alpha quality. There is almost no documentation, optimizations, etc. This is little more than a code dump at this point.

See various tests for examples on using this code.

###Acceptor API usage

final int port = 5555;

FIXAcceptor server = FIXAcceptor.Builder(port)
    .withDebugStatus(true).build();
server.startListening();

final Map<String,String> msg = new LinkedHashMap<String,String>();
//...test request or some other msg
server.sendMsg("SENDER", msg);

###Initiator API usage

FIXInitiator client = FIXInitiator.Builder("FIX.4.2", "CLIENT", "SERVER", "localhost", 5555)
    .withDebugStatus(true).build();

client.onMsg(new IMessageCallback() {

	@Override
	public void onMsg(Map<String, String> msg) {
		out.println(msg);
	}

	@Override
	public void onException(Throwable t) {
		t.printStackTrace();
	}
});

client.logOn();

###TODO -Make sure netty handlers are sane (ignore FIX logic for now) -Document (javadocs) -Make sure existing logic works correctly (add more standard FIX test cases) -Add new functionality such as groups, crash proof resend logic, etc.

Contributions welcome.
