ARP throws error code 400 after upgrade to 16.0.2 and does not display

Issue/Introduction

ITD ARP plugin uses log4j 1.x classes in their binaries as a dependency.  As we upgrade to clarity 16.0.2 we removed log4j 1.x jars and replaced with log4j 2.x jars. As a result when we load the ITD artifacts it can't find the required classes and throws an exception. ClarityContentFilter catches the exception thrown from underlying layers and converts to a bad request which is what customers observe in their browser as error 400.

Steps to Reproduce: 

1. Open any clarity 16.0.2 environment with the ITD ARP plugin installed 
2. Open the ARP (Home > Resource management > Advanced Resource Planning ) URL with action: https://<hostname>/niku/nu#action:pl.itd.ae.page.assignment.editor  

Expected Results: ARP opens up for usage. 

Actual Results: ARP stuck with error 400 and cannot be loaded.
