> I am using velocity to render results page. During performance optimizations I noticed significant memory usage from *com.opensymphony.xwork2.ognl.OgnlUtil#compile*. There is caching implemented in OgnlUtil, but if expression compilation fails, it is not cached.
> I am not really sure if this problem is in struts or velocity engine. But situation is following:
> # In velocity template trying to render string *<p>$!foo</p>*
> # If value is null, velocity calls *org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTReference#getNullString*
> # Internally there is call to *context.get(".literal." + nullString)*
> # And this ".literal." expression always reaches *OgnlUtil#compile* and compilation fails.
> Below is stacktrace for more details:
