log4j configuration doesn't show messages spring mvc - spring

Question

I work with spring mvc , maven, eclipse juno. I created a dynamic web project.
I want to use log4j to show log messages in the console and a file. I deployed my project in the server from eclipse. I deployed my project in Tomcat and weblogic. But I don't see my messages neither console nor file. File is created and has server messages but not my messages.
I copied the log4j.xml from a tutorial. My messages are in the controller. My project is a dynamic web project and I put log4.xml in java resources/src eclipse folder.
I don't know because I don't see messages. Is it necessary to configure more steps?
Structure project is
I added log4j dependencies in pom.xml

Your whole project structure is missing the maven conventions. Java package folders and source should be in src/main/java, resources like log4j.xml in src/main/resources and web files in src/main/webapp. Check the apache maven website for an overview. Also use eclipse to create a sample maven web project using maven archetypes.
