quickfix create order and send to currenex

Question

I create:

quickfix.fix44.NewOrderSingle order = new quickfix.fix44.NewOrderSingle();

fill it:

    order.set(new ClOrdID(String.valueOf(orderDomain.getOrderId())));
    order.set(new Product(Product.CURRENCY));
    order.set(new TransactTime(new Date()));
    ...

And I need send it to currenex:

Session.sendToTarget(order, sessionID);

But I have 2 questions:

How can I create sessionID? Now I do it

SessionID sessionID = new SessionID("FIX.4.4:INITIATOR->INITIATOR"); But I do not understand what I did here
How (and where) can I configure host/user/pasword?

I think your best bet is to look at the example applications that come with the quickfix/j library. — TT., Jun 20 '17 at 07:20
Look at the Banzai application. If you download QuickFIX/J 1.6.3, and unzip. Then in the 1.6.3 folder, unzip `org.quickfixj-1.6.3-src.zip`. Navigate in the unzipped folder to `quickfixj-examples\banzai`. Then look at `src\main\java\quickfix\examples\banzai\Banzai.java`. — TT., Jun 20 '17 at 09:31

QuickFix sessionID's are contained in a HashSet<SessionID> which you can get from using i.GetSessionIDs(); for a given IInitiator i.

Then you can get a session instance by using Session.LookupSession(sessionID)

What you're doing which is manually creating a sessionID which is basically setting up the message Header information.
