Thanks to both Anirban and James.
I tried to read the system property in config file, log4j.properties.
It worked fine on both Development as well as Test server.
The line is:
log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.base}/logs/applicationLogs_VFM.log
Thanks again,
-Amit

If you use an XML config file then it can refer to system properties.
Example:
<param name="File"
value="'${catalina.base}/logs/'MMM-dd-EEE'/'HH-mm-ss-S'.log'" />
I don't know if something similar exists for properties files.
