That class uses constants like SLASH and PERIOD, so in order to change the parsing you would probably have to start there. Remember that the PERIOD constant is also used twice to indicate the parent object. So you would have to come up with some other characters to indicate the current and the parent objects. The SLASH constant is also used to indicate the root of the stack (if an expression starts with it). Then I know that there is one place in the beginning of the ValueStack.findValue where an expression is set to "." if it is empty, so you would have to change that one as well. With these changes you might be able to use "." instead of "/", but I am not sure since I've never tried it. Then none of the Webwork JSP templates will work of course, so you will have to change them as well. If you try this, please let us know how it turns out.
