1 Introduction
GINA (General Interface for Network Applications) provides a framework for the implemen-
tation and operation of object-oriented, transaction-oriented client/server applications. The
GINA-API is an object-oriented solution for the mixed, distributed applications which are en-
countered everywhere in modern business life.
tation and operation of object-oriented, transaction-oriented client/server applications. The
GINA-API is an object-oriented solution for the mixed, distributed applications which are en-
countered everywhere in modern business life.
GINA is suitable for use in many types of client/server environment– for systems which
place high demands on the criteria of data consistency and reliability (business-critical ap-
plications) as well as for the rightsizing of mainframe-based systems for decentralized on-
line transaction processing (OLTP).

GINA is based on standards and can adapt to individual circumstances. The object-oriented
paradigm saves programming time and makes system structures clearer. Modifications and
corrections are easier. GINA is a high-performance development environment for distribut-
ed and persistent objects.
