Nowadays, the maturity reached by the Web engineering research community can be assessed by the myriad of web design methods that have proven successful for the specification of the functional and navigational requirements posed by Web information systems. However, these proposals often fail to address architectural features, which results in Web specifications with rigid architectures, with no regard for their actual circumstances of use. To overcome this limitation, we propose a generic approach called WebSA. WebSA is based on the MDA (Model-driven Architecture) paradigm. It proposes a Model Driven Development made up of a set of UML architectural models and QVT transformations as mechanisms to integrate the functional aspects of the current methodologies with the architectural aspects. In order to illustrate our approach, in this paper we combine WebSA with the OO-H method to tackle the design of the well known J2EE Petstore specification.
