APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An exception is thrown by the webcontainer when an
  application calls a ServletContext api:
  
  java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: SRVE9002E: You
  cannot start this operation from a programmatically added
  listener when using servlet-3.1 feature.
  
  although the operation was called from outside of a
  programmatically added listener. This happens if a
  programmatically added servlet context listener throws an
  exception which is caught by the webcontainer.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unsupported Operation Exception after   *
  *                      programmatically added servlet context  *
  *                      listener throws an exception            *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Even though the ServletContext api was called from outside the
  scope of a programmatically added listener. an exception is
  thrown by the webcontainer:
  
  java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: SRVE9002E: You cannot
  start this operation from a programmatically added listener when
  using servlet-3.1 feature.
  
   This happens if a programmatically added ServletContextListener
  throws an exception which is caught by the webcontainer.
  

Problem conclusion

• The webcontainer logic, which handles an exception thrown by a
  programmatically added ServletContextListener, has been modified
  to ensure that a future call to the ServletContext api is not
  also considered to be within the scope of that
  ServletContextListener.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.6.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
