Abstract
A connector apparatus and the associated method are provided for bridging data between entities, such as between data source(s) and data target(s). In a method, first and second data bridge connections are established between a connector apparatus and a data source and between a connector apparatus and a data target, respectively. Each data bridge connection includes a data pipe having one or more data flows with each data flow dedicated to a particular data type. The method includes sending a polling request from the connector apparatus to the data source via the first data bridge connection and receiving data from the data source over the first data pipe in response to the polling request. The method includes sending the received data to the data target over the second data pipe when the data target has subscribed to the data received from the data source over the first data pipe.
