java.lang.ref.SoftReference is
like java.lang.ref.WeakReference which is used by
WeakHashMap. The difference wasn't
clear to me at first but I can find the explanation that help me if you
desire.
From the
javadocs: Soft references are most
often used to implement memory-sensitive caches. Weak references are most often used to implement
canonicalizing mappings.

Thanks
James -- this is becoming a very informative thread. Is SoftReferences
kind of like WeakHashMap? i.e. if the reference no longer exists,
JVM has a low priority background thread that removes it from the hash and
perfroms clean up.

---We use SoftReferences so the JVM manages it. I assume that it is close to LRU.James Stauffer
