Abstract
This project presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a secure, durable, and service-oriented web application built on an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) architecture. Motivated by the growing need for scalable, modular, and security-hardened online systems, the study integrates principles of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) with UMLsec-driven secure design and Java EE’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). The ESB serves as the integration backbone, enabling seamless communication across heterogeneous services while supporting dynamic orchestration and protocol interoperability. The project employs a hybrid lifecycle model combining agile and plan-driven approaches to accommodate evolving requirements without compromising system discipline. Durability and quality-in-use characteristics—evaluated using multi-criteria decision-making frameworks—demonstrate high trustworthiness, maintainability, usability, and long-term operational resilience. Comprehensive testing, including security, performance, usability, and durability assessments, confirms that the system meets critical functional and non-functional requirements. The results validate that an ESB-based SOA architecture, enhanced with secure development methodologies and user-centric design, provides a robust foundation for enterprise-level web applications requiring reliability, extensibility, and sustained user satisfaction
