jLina is a Services-oriented application written in C for Windows, which uses the Winsock library, zlib and ODBC library.
The application sacrifices the server processor speed (zlib inflation/deflation of the packets) for bandwidth (no XML, WSDL, etc. just small compressed packets).
The services are defined in a "operations" file in the jlina.conf file, along with other parameters.
The format for the services definition is "X Y", where the first parameter is one word - the service name, while the second parameter is the actual SQL query where '?' is parsed as an input parameter and '??' as the actual question mark.
The client would then define his packet "service_name p1 p2", connect to the server and send it in deflated form. The server then inflates the packet, parses it, queries the database server, and then sends back the results as an inflated message to the client. Each client session is a separate thread on the server.
Development is managed by Boro Sitnikovski.
