util.logging properties file when using Rational wesphere

I am using IBM Rational Application developer for webspere 7.5.4.

Where do I specify in the Rational IDE the logging properties file ?
I thought it should be located under the WEB-INF file.

But when I run the following code-

public static void main(String[] args) {

Logger log = Logger.getLogger("MyLogger1");
log.setLevel(Level.ALL);
log.info("initializing - trying to load configuration file ...");

try {
FileInputStream configFile = new FileInputStream
("logging.properties");
LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(configFile);
} catch (IOException ex)
{
System.out.println("WARNING: Could not open configuration file");
System.out.println("WARNING: Logging not configured (console
output only)");
}
log.info("starting MyLogger1");

}

I get the - System.out.println("WARNING: Could not open configuration
file"); displayed.

Help greatly appreciated.
