Dmitri, I have had a simiilar idea of using a prefix such as xpath:. I need to add functionality similar to this to the Joda project to access data (as with BeanUtils), so I am interested in using this if the API is suitable ;-)

Check out JEX: www.plotnix.com/jex/index.html It is a set of APIs that unifies the use of expression languages. Out of the box it is integrated with the expression language used in BeanUtils (I gave it a nickname Bexl), with Javascript and JXPath. It will also soon be integrated with Jexl. Other possible candidates are Jaxen, SPEL and JPath. The idea is that when you need to evaluate an expression, you provide the name of the language as a prefix, sort of like in the html event handlers: "javascript:2+2", "jxpath:/foo/bar". You can also have a default language that is used in the absence of a prefix. Check out the APIs and let me know if you believe there is room for JEX in the sandbox. I'll be happy to contribute and maintain it.
