Live connection enhancement for data source interface

摘要

The invention provides for the connection of a plurality of remote applications with a data source, to maximize the speed and reliability of data transfer. An interface module interfaces with a remote application such as a web browser. A port module interfaces between interface module and a data source. A connection manager facilitates the interface between the interface module and the port module. The port module detects the unavailability of the data source in response to an initial request for the data source by the remote application. The port module may then dynamically detect the availability of the data source in response to a subsequent request for the data source and reconnect to the data source to the remote application in response to the subsequent request without having to reinitialize the connection manager.

主权项

1. A method for connecting a plurality of remote applications with a data source, the method comprising:
facilitating, a connection between respective ones of a plurality of interfaces that interface with the plurality of remote applications and a plurality of ports that interface with the data source utilizing a connection manager, by determining an available first port module among the plurality of ports, based on an availability record of the plurality of ports, and providing a port identifier of the available first port to a first interface among the plurality of interfaces; and sending subsequent communications independent of the connection manager, from the first interface to the available first port the connection manager being different from the first interface.
