*                      when starting or stopping               *
*                      applications on the server.             *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The WebContainer can fail to add a web application to its
internal mapping when there are a very large number of
applications already started on the same virtual host. This
error will result in the following exception in the log:
java.lang.RuntimeException: FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! couldn't
add items
at com.ibm.ws.util.ClauseTable.sync(ClauseTable.java(Compiled
Code))
at com.ibm.ws.util.ClauseTable.add(ClauseTable.java(Compiled
Code))
at com.ibm.ws.util.ClauseNode.add(ClauseNode.java(Inlined
Compiled
Code))
at com.ibm.ws.util.URIMatcher.put(URIMatcher.java(Compiled
Code))
at
com.ibm.ws.util.URIMapper.addMapping(URIMapper.java(Compiled
Code))
at
com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.VirtualHost.addWebApplication(VirtualHos
t.java(C
ompiled Code))

The number of applications required for this problem to occur
can vary. For example, the problem has been observed with
around 600 applications on a single virtual host.

Problem conclusion

The WebContainer has been modified to prevent this error from
occurring when a large number of applications are installed.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.0.2.35, 6.1.0.25 and 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the
