I need to enable asserts (pass -ea) to the underlying JVM running Tomcat because my webapp makes use of them. I can do this quite easily for my external Tomcat server but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it for the internal server. I filed this as a DEFECT because I'm fairly certain this was configurable in the past but was removed. Especially while running the server in debug mode, it makes a lot of sense for asserts to be on by default.
Marking as a duplicate. It is an enhancement not a defect - it was not in previous releases. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 22977 ***
