This sounds exactly like the use case JEE was intended for.  Your 
business logic sits in session beans, your state is made persistent with 
JPA whatever backend is used (mostly RDBMS though) and you can interface 
to legacy systems with JCA.  Transaction control across these layers is 
available in most modern JEE containers.  Most of them let you create a 
web UI with JSF or other modern technologies.  Usually you can also 
expose session beans as Web Services as well with relatively low effort. 
  JASS handles authentication and can interface with various backends 
(LDAP, AD...).

In practice of course this is pretty complicated and architecting such 
an application and setting it up has quite some overhead.  But if you 
have it set up you have a nice separation of concerns.

Kind regards
