APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When starting the server, the warning "Unconverted adapt to
  web containers" appears in server logs.
  
  The warning is accompanied by a stack trace, for example:
  
  container.service.annotations.internal.WebAnnotationsAdapter
  W Unconverted adapt to web annotations
   java.lang.Throwable: Unconverted adapt to web annotations

Problem conclusion

• The warning indicates that a code location was not updated to
  use improved annotation scanning code, which added caching
  capabilities.  There should be no functional problems.  However,
  the code is not using the latest annotation scanning code, and
  is missing performance improvements provided by that code.
  
  The problem was fixed by updating
  "com.ibm.ws.openapi.internal.AnnotationScanner" to use the
  latest annotation scanning code.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 20.0.0.10.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
