MSSQL Driver

i‑net software GmbH offers the i‑net MERLIA JDBC driver for MS SQL Server databases. It is a JDBC type 4 driver and implements the API level JDBC 3.0 / 4.0 with all features implemented complying with the standard JDBC API. It is completely written in Java and can be deployed on every platform.

The driver has no extra API, all features were implemented complying with the standard JDBC API, therefore, it is very straightforward to generate an application accessing different DBMS without changing the code! This also makes sure the driver from i‑net software GmbH can be easily used in third party tools.

This driver is the recommended solution for the Java EE Application Server.

Java Less Compiler - JLessC

JLessC is a Java-based less compiler that is very fast and easy to use. It is a great tool for developers who want to compile less files, e.g. for their web applications. It is written completely in Java (pure Java). It does not need any additional libraries at runtime (no JavaScript, no ANTLR). The main target of the project is performance and compatibility to Bootstrap.

i‑net software GmbH uses JLessC in every place where we need to compile less files, i.e. in our own products.
