I am trying to log using log4j in my Java EE application in the following way where i have defined a log4j.xml in the application.
I am trying to access it using
DOMConfigurator.configure( "src/log4j.xml");
logger.warn( "Login Process has started a warning message" );
but it keeps throwing the following error
** edited error message
log4j:ERROR Could not parse file [src/log4j.xml].
java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\src\log4j.xml (The system cannot find the path s pecified)

When i provided the absolute path everything is working .
So whats the way to achieve this? I am using 1.2.16.jar version of log4j
and i get following warning each time i build the app
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.
Edited: Application struture
Myapp
src
conf
target
and i have palced log4j.xml under folder src
log4j.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
<appender name="console" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">

</appender>
<logger name="com.web" additivity="false">
