Propagazione eccezione in avvio Tomcat

[hellmarvel]

Buongiorno...io ho un problema quando avvio tomcat (versione 6.0.16), viene propagata la seguente eccezione:

IOException while loading persisted sessions: java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: com.mysql.jdbc.SingleByteCharsetConverter

All'inizio pensavo che poteva essere causato dal vecchio connector di mySql ( versione 5.0.6) ora però ho scaricato il nuovo (versione 5.1.7) ma questa eccezione è ancora presente...
Da aggiungere che: appena ho sostituito il connector ho svuotato la cache di Tomcat, che la jdk in uso è la 1.6.0_03...Qualcuno può aiutarmi per favore?
