title: Spring MVC Project
body: <p>Happy new year to all of you!</p>
  
  <p>I have started a new Spring MVC Project with SpringSource doing click in File > New > Spring Template Project and I have tried to run it in vFabric tc Server and it doesn't work. The first error was about a LOC header in a Spring class so I have changed the Spring version to download. Now I have got the next error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>GRAVE: Excepción enviando evento inicializado de contexto a instancia de escuchador de clase     org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Level
      at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getSingleton(LoggerFactory.java:230)
      at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.bind(LoggerFactory.java:121) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think Spring MVC Project is supposed to run the first time with no need of configuration or solving errors.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to learn Spring for four months and I don't make any progress. I have got Spring in action which I think is a very good book but not enough practical, so I decided reading Spring MVC Step-by-Step first and I liked it but the example project uses Ant and I would like a MVC project with Maven like Spring MVC Project from SpringSource and again I have lost because Spring MVC Project uses annotations, classes and other configuration that I don't know. I just want to start a project now and learn little to little but nothing works for me.</p>
  
  <p>Could you help me to do the project works and tell me what is the next step to understand that Spring MVC project?? I would like to know what is your experience learning Spring, if you found difficulties, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
