Eclipse, Spring, Wildfly log4j logging

Question

I am running Spring framework 3.2.2.RELEASE on WildFly 8.0. I am trying to get logging to work. I have tried reading several tutorials, but, can not seem to get any output to the console or log. I am looking at the console in Eclipse, and the log at wildfly/standalone/log/server.log. Any help getting logging going is appreciated.

Here are some pieces of interesting code:

src/main/resources/log4j.xml:

<!-- Appenders -->
<appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
    <param name="Target" value="System.out" />
    <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%-5p: %c - %m%n" />
    </layout>
</appender>

<!-- Application Loggers -->
<logger name="com.myCompany.myPackage">
    <level value="info" />
</logger>
    <!-- 3rdparty Loggers 
         omitted
    -->
<!-- Root Logger -->
<root>
    <priority value="warn" />
    <appender-ref ref="console" />
</root>

wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:2.0">
            <console-handler name="CONSOLE">
                <level name="INFO"/>
                <formatter>
                    <named-formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN"/>
                </formatter>
            </console-handler>
            <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
                <formatter>
                    <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>
                </formatter>
                <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
                <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
                <append value="true"/>
            </periodic-rotating-file-handler>
            <logger category="com.arjuna">
                <level name="WARN"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler">
                <level name="WARN"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="org.jboss.as.config">
                <level name="DEBUG"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="sun.rmi">
                <level name="WARN"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="jacorb">
                <level name="WARN"/>
            </logger>
            <logger category="jacorb.config">
                <level name="ERROR"/>
            </logger>
            <root-logger>
                <level name="INFO"/>
                <handlers>
                    <handler name="CONSOLE"/>
                    <handler name="FILE"/>
                </handlers>
            </root-logger>
            <formatter name="PATTERN">
                <pattern-formatter pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c
] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
            </formatter>
            <formatter name="COLOR-PATTERN">
                <pattern-formatter pattern="%K{level}%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %-5p [%c]
(%t) %s%E%n"/>
            </formatter>
        </subsystem>

src/com/myCompany/myPackage/mySubpackage/myClass.java

package com.myCompany.myPackage.mySubpackage;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class myClass
{
   private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(myClass.class.getName());

   public SoccerFeed someMethod()
   {
      log.info("******************* someMethod ");
   }
}

SOLUTION: Based on Jame's answer below, To fix this based on my setup above, I added the following to wildFly's standalone.xml, and logging works as expected:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:2.0">
    <use-deployment-logging-config value="false"/>

I'm not sure how Spring configures logging, but I think it does something specific with log4j. You might need to disable the use-deployment-logging-config to false. This will only configure logging for your deployment though.

You could also leave the log4j.xml configuration file out of your deployment and use the logging subsystem to configure logging.
