A better way to describe CRUD in a web application?

Hello, We've been refactoring our web-based admin application (again) and got a bit stuck when describing the permissions involved in what we used to call CRUD (create-read-update-delete) operations.

I'll soon be managing a fleet of ASP.NET webservers... What are the technical limitations with deploying an ASP.NET webserver? Can I just copy the file(s) over, restart the website, and I'm good to go? Is this any different than what VS2010's "deploy" does?

Specify at run-time where to create or open Derby embedded database

I want to be able to define the folder where a Derby embedded database will be created after I start my application (which will someday migrate to a web application).

Java EE 5 / EJB 3 / JSF 1.2, using Facelets / ICEfaces 1.8.2 I'm authenticating my users with JAAS, but I think that simple role-based authorization is insufficient for my needs—my users' permissions need to be computed out of data in JPA entities.
