In a word, internationalization. (OK, it's a very long word! :-) )
Different users may be running in different locales, so the message
resources need to be stored on a per-user basis.

The next logical question is then: Why does Struts store resources in
the session (actually, servlet context)? What is wrong with using the
static cache that ResourceBundle maintains? Since each web application
should have its own classloader, there shouldn't be any risk of
conflict.
Thanks,
