分析:EOFException表示输入过程中意外地到达文件尾或流尾的信号,导致从session中获取数据失败。异常是tomcat本身的问题，由于tomcat上次非正常关闭时有一些活动session被持久化（表现为一些临时文件），在重启时，tomcat尝试去恢复这些session的持久化数据但又读取失败造成的。此异常不影响系统的使用。 

解决办法: 
将tomcat6\work\Catalina\localhost\yourProjectName\SESSIONS.ser删除。如果正常关闭服务端，该文件是自动删除的。 
注：yourProjectName 是你当前正在工作的Web项目名称。 

考虑到每个人的tomat的工作目录不同，建议在“搜索”功能中找到你的SESSIONS.ser文件，而且只需要删除..\yourProjectName\下的SESSIONS.ser即可。
