One of the reasons for this trend was due to the presence of Web application framework (WAF) that in many ways has helped web developer to implement WA as an enterprise system. However, there are complexity issues faced by the developers when using existing WAFs as reported by the developers themselves. This study is proposed to find a solution to this particular issue by investigating generic issues that arise when developers utilize Web as a platform to deliver enterprise-level application. The investigation involves the identification of problems and challenges imposed by the architecture and technology of the Web itself, study of software engineering (SE) knowledge adaptation for WA development, determination of factors that contribute to the complexity of WAF implementation, and study of existing solutions for WA development proposed by previous works. To better understand the real issues faced by...

These issues arise when WA began to be used to provide services with a very high number of accesses by users and solve more complex problems such as large scale e-learning system, online banking, one-stop online shopping center, etc. Most of the solutions are not considering the complexity that also brought along with the new proposed architecture as long as the aforementioned issues can be solved. As WA evolved and used to solve more complex problems, the next phases of WA architecture and design research have going towards for more simplified design, further exploiting database technology maturity, and search for suitable aided-tools to facilitate on some aspects of WA development process. The research direction has also move towards on proposal for better insights on WA design via motivation or enforcement of particular design pattern and shows some awareness to the necessity for deep understanding on using technology appropriately as it was originally intended. Web application framework (WAF) that nowadays has been widely accepted for WA development has to be in tandem with the current research trends to provide better, profound and proven architecture-design inside the application.
