Eclipse启动Tomcat时发生java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: <session-config> element is limited to 1 occur...

在学习struts 2时，为了方便，直接从下载的struts的apps目录下的struts2-blank.war压缩包下的WEB-INF\复制的web.xml，当我启动Tomcat时，发生

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: <session-config> element is limited to 1 occurrence

 这让我很慌啊，从没见过的，后来认真阅读错误，发现/D:/leaning/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/conf/web.xml; lineNumber: 4678; columnNumber: 21; Error at (4678, 21) : <session-config> element is limited to 1 occurrence

根据描述的找到文件/D:/leaning/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/conf/web.xml，果然有两个session-conf

<session-config>   
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>     
   </session-config> 

 删除一个，在重启Tomcat，问题解决。
