Not sure if it would be worth it. As far as I understand the javadoc SoftReference only has a benefit when memory is realy low. In the age of cloud datacenters memory should not be an issue for most apps, IMHO. On the other hand: I don't know how much work that would be, which parts of struts codebase would be affected and how many bugs that could introduce. Just my thoughts.
