Thanks for your reply. My appln will be a war file deployed in the appln
server, web container.If i didn't give any directory name to log file,
as of now it creates the log file under /j2ee/home/test.log. 1. My first issue is, how does it gets this path, based on what system parameter
it takes up this value /j2ee/home/ and prepend it to log file ?
2. If i know the system property i need to set, i can set that to log file
location or i can append to the result of qstn 1. The idea is, if there
is a system prop that FileAppender picks it up, i can override that by a
new value as soon as the property is loaded

Before log4j is configured, insert the application server home path in the
System properties, e.g.
System.setProperty( "j2ee.home", <path>" )
Then insert your relative part in another property
System.setProperty( "my.log.files", <relative path>" )
Now you can use Log4j's standard variable interpolation support in your
config file:
log4j.appender.R.File=${j2ee.home}/{my.log.files}/test.log

It will, but (probably) relative to the System variable "user.dir".
