Generate header related methods in Message class.

[the-thing]

newHeader() and getHeader() methods will be generated in the Message class. This will help keeping consitent header behavior across all fix versions.

See

• Generated messages should return header from their fix version quickfixj#801
• quickfix.Message#getHeader subclasses to return Header with respective FIX version header quickfixj#1048

The new classes will look like this.

/* Generated Java Source File */
package quickfix.fixlatest;
import quickfix.field.*;

public class Message extends quickfix.Message {
  static final long serialVersionUID = 552892318L;

  public Message() {
    this(null);
  }
  protected Message(int[] fieldOrder) {
    super(fieldOrder);
    header = new Header(this);
    trailer = new Trailer();
    getHeader().setField(new BeginString("FIXT.1.1"));
  }

  @Override
  protected Header newHeader() {
    return new Header(this);
  }

  @Override
  public Header getHeader() {
    return (Message.Header)header;
  }

public static class Header extends quickfix.Message.Header {
  static final long serialVersionUID = 552892318L;

  public Header(Message msg) {

  }
}
}

@the-thing great, thanks for pursuing this.

I'll need to build a release once this is merged so you can continue with this on quickfix-j/quickfixj#1048 . I'll keep you posted.

No rush.

I will not be able to continue since this is the only thing left. I mean once this is merged and released I will have to update the dependency as part of quickfix-j/quickfixj#1048 and I will modify a test case to include class names for FIXT and FIX latest. I believe this is the only thing left.
