I wonder about the effect of that on very long running server

True indeed. My bad. Richard was a bit smarter, and used a
WeakHashMap, so that the instances that are no longer referenced can
be released.
OTOH, since the access to the propertyCaches is not synchronized in
Richard's patch, I'm wondering whether or not the possibility arises
that two parallel threads issue a put() on the Map at the same time
for an equal instance...?
Maybe we're both slightly off...
Anyway, I'll see if I can adapt to use WeakHashMap too. Should work.
Thanks for the vigilance!
Cheers,
Andreas
