Description

When defining a character as the path separator, for example a slash, the topic still needs to be defined using the dot notation, ie:

<topic id="id.lsrfm.text" />

This prevents topics that contain a period to be used, for example: "/topic/id/lsrfm.com/lsr/text", which is a valid destination, as stated in the current documentation http://activemq.apache.org/apollo/documentation/user-manual.html#Destination_Name_Restrictions

There needs to be a way to escape a period or to define the topic id using the path separator stated. For example:

<topic id="id/lsrfm.com/lsr/text" path_separator="/" />
