  When an exception occurs while invoking the onStartup method
  of a ServletContainerInitializer, a proper message is not
  output in the logs. An example of the incorrect message is:
  W
  exception.occurred.while.running.ServletContainerInitializers.o
  nStartup
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebContainer was updated to output a properly formatted
  message and not just a message key. An example of the new
  message is:
  
  The sci.OnStartupExceptionSCI@baabe171
  ServletContainerInitializer, located in the following
  application SCIExceptionTest, produced the following error
  while invoking the onStartup method:
  javax.servlet.ServletException: Test Exception
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpacks 9.0.5.3 and 8.5.5.17, and WebSphere Liberty 19.0.0.8
