Class loaders do this kind of caching already, so I guess I don't see all
that much benefit.
For Struts in particular, if you're concerned about repeated
Class.forName() calls, a better strategy is avoidance -- arrange your
application so that the form beans are created for you ahead of
time. Then Struts will never have to call it.
