java.sql.SQLException: Communication link failure: java.io.EOFException,

You are probably missing a validation query to check if the pooled Connection
objects have a live communication link to the database.

If 'something' makes the link drop (eg MySQL drops the connection due to
inactivity timeout - Oracle RDMBS does this, but I'm not sure if MySQL can
be configured in a similar fashion, or the network connectivity has gone
down and up again) the Connection object that OJB checks out from the pool
will have no TCP/IP connection to your database and you will get this
"communication link failure".

This is a problem/feature of any JDBC connection pool, so the answer apply
to applications other than OJB as well.

Fast-track answer:
 Change your connection-pool settings in repository_database.xml and
 make sure to include testOnBorrow="true" and validataionQuery="SELECT 1".
