Hi Bill,

Right, such kinds of configurations and modifications are possible but 
they require to change the web.xml file or to manually modify the data 
files on the server.

Saving/loading/deleting can be done by coping/renaming/deleting the data 
directories on the server (in the directory "data") and restarting the 
servlet container (e.g. Tomcat).

Instead of switching between ontologies, it is probably easier to run 
multiple AceWiki instances in parallel. There are comments in the 
web.xml file that explain how this can be done:

By the way: A new version of AceWiki will be released tomorrow!
