Abstract (ENG): Despite its dominating role for developing large-scale enterprise applications, Java Enterprise Edition (EE) has always been seen critically by many developers, in particular from the web and open source communities. In recent years, the discussion about its decline and replacement e.g. by scripting languages such as Python or JavaScript has therefore gained momentum. On the other hand, Java EE has evolved towards being more flexible, lightweight and simpler to use and offers unique features still not available out-of-the-box on other platforms, such as support for distributed transactions. Therefore, in this paper an approach is presented, how a Java EE-based application supporting elderly people could be designed to make use of a modern NoSQL database (namely MongoDB), while preserving its unique features. The presented approach demonstrates not only the feasibility of such an architecture, but also supports the claim that Java EE still is a highly relevant and powerful platform for building modern applications.
