The ActiveOperationSupport shouldn't use assertions for state as assertions can be turned off --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-845 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-845 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Management Reporter: James Perkins Assignee: James Perkins The [{{ActiveOperationSupport}}|https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/blob/master/protocol/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/protocol/mgmt/ActiveOperationSupport.java#L151] uses assertions to validate if the remote protocol has been shutdown. These should throw an exception rather than an {{AssertionError}} which can be turned off.
