I have my database.properties with jdbc.url, jdbc.username and jdbc.password in src/main/config path..
Also, I would like to ask you if my project structure is correct.

Answer 1

Also, i would like to ask you if my project structure is correct.
No, and this is actually causing your problem. Even though src/main/config is marked as a project directory in Eclipse, maven won't treat it in any special way, in particular it won't include that folder on CLASSPATH. Check out your built WAR file, it won't even contain these files!
By simply moving all your *.properties files to src/main/resources your application should build and run fine.
