I was having this problem too. My solution, though ugly, seems to work. Go to the alfresco SDK and in the remote/dependencies folder you will find all the jars you need (also the alfresco-web-service-client-3.3.jar). Just place them in your WEB-INF/lib directory and restart.

2 things:

1. This should not be. the tomcat/lib directory should be fine. but it clearly is not. But I do not know if this is a tomcat or alfresco problem.
2. There also seems to be a lock on the alfresco-web-service-client-3.3.jar once run. This prevents me from re-deploying my WAR properly. I must stop tomcat copy my war and restart. VERY annoying.

Hope this helps

Well, I don't know what I did, but I upgraded everything to 3.3 (I just thought I did before) and I got new errors. However, after many days of pulling my hair out, I have found a solution.

This now works for me:

1 upgrade everything to 3.3 and 3.3 SDK
2. upgrade your Axis2 to 1.5.1 and use it build your .arr (Web service only)
3. your alfresco-core-3.3.jar and alfresco-web-service-client-3.3.jar should be in tomcat/lib
4. there needs to be NO JARS in your webapp/WEB-INF/lib directory
5. Any ClassNotFound errors should be fixed by placing the jars in /lib/remote/dependencies in tomcat/lib

this also fixed my problem of having to restart alfresco every time i redeploy my war file!

I am in a happy place now. (see how long that lasts!)
