Cause
The JVM allows you enable or disable the assertions by using the flags -ea / -da. Assertions are mainly for testing purpose and should be disabled in production.
Resolution
Ensure the JVM settings contain -da to disable assertions. See Setting Properties and Options on Startup for instructions.
