Constructor
new module:caplin/trading/trademodel/TradeOnBehalfOf(oMessageService)
Is responsible for communicating with Liberator that the current user
(generally a salesman or head trader) executes trades on behalf of another user
(generally a client trader).
When "trading on behalf of" the salesman needs to trade on the prices the
trader would trade on if they were logged into the system themselves.
Liberator does this by maintaining multiple prices (tiers)
for each instrument (e.g. currency /FX/GBPUSD/T1 and /FX/GBPUSD/T2).
Different users are mapped to different tiers.
Usually liberator performs mapping based on the identity of the logged in user.
When "trading on behalf of" Liberator uses the field "UserName" in a well know
user subject to drive the mapping.
This class simply contributes the userName to be traded on behalf of.
When the contribution is successfully processed by Liberator it publishes the
new tier prices to the Caplin Trader client.
We must not allow the user to trade on old prices prior to the tier change.
To change the mappings, Liberator invalidates the internal user session (this is not
communicated to the client), any price received thereafter is guaranteed to be from the
new tier.
We therefore listen on the "/TOBOCHANGEUSER" subject, because changes to this are published
to listeners AFTER the Liberator internal session invalidation. We then notify any listeners
that any subsequent prices are valid from the new tier and trading may re-commence.
