First of all, you should use the Mule Standalone, if you can. If you really need to use Tomcat, I suggest you package all the Mule dependencies into the application war with Maven, and not try to work with the jars manually. See the answer by David Dossot here and an example Maven project here. Note that the example project uses Mule 3.1.2, so you probably want to update it a bit.
