This paper aims to design and realize movie reservation system with EJB 3.1 lightweight container architecture. N-Tier enterprise architecture to resolve the problem with benefits to support the new architecture is a lightweight container architecture. This architecture, such as the EJB, but not heavy, to provide all of the architecture is possible. The lightweight container architecture is most often used in business EJB 3.1 is well-known architecture. Therefore, this research has the N-tier enterprise architecture to solve the advantages and disadvantages developed to support the latest EJB 3.1 architecture based on the design and implementation of a movie reservation system.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has led to paradigm shifts in the information management area by combining it with SOA and Mashup. System developers now have more chances to access various high-quality functions through API opened on the web. But external resources are controlled by service providers so that it raises the component's uncertainty in system management which is related to external resources. In the cloud environment, components related to external resources causes negative effects on system's maintainability by making them dependant on service providers. This study proposes a way to enhance maintainability by using stable external resources. For this work, we suggest the N+1-tier model in which an external resource tier is added to the N-tier model. After that, we analyze how adding an external resource tier affects the decreasing complexity of maintainability and improving maintainability on web application.
