[Bug 440685] [NEW] "-enableassertions -server" not working with tomcat 5.5.26 in Ubuntu 9.04

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: tomcat5.5

I put that in /etc/default/tomcat5.5:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -enableassertions -server -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-Djava.awt.headless=true"

But I got this message:

Invalid option -enableassertions

Then I move to:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -ea -server -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-Djava.awt.headless=true"

and I got:

Invalid option -server

Then, if I remove '-server':

JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -ea -server -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-Djava.awt.headless=true"

tomcat finally start.

But why that? and how can I be sure that tomcat is running with
assertions and server enabled?
