Unable to Generate Logs using Log4j

Question

Hi All,
I have a task where i have configure weblogic to generate the logs using log4j instead of the default jdk,
I changed the logging level implementation in admin server from jdk to log4j
Then i created a log4j.xml and placed it in the root folder of the domain.
But the adminserver.log file still shows the logs from default jdk the log4j changes tht i did had no effect on the logs.
Kindly Help
Thanks

Hi ,
I dont have any log4j.properties defined . Should i define a custom log4j.properties.
This is how my log4j.xml is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration>
<appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
<param name="File" value="myApp.log"/>
<param name="Append" value="true"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} %t %-5p %c{2} - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="org.apache">
<level value="WARN"/>
</logger>
<logger name="org.springframework">
<level value="WARN"/>
</logger>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
But this is generating a custom log4j log file but we want the weblogic generated adminserver.log to be generated using the log4j instead of jdk
