Log4j: ERROR Failed to create custom Appender when deploying war in tomcat 7

I have a tag below in my log4j.xml

<appender name="TEST_APPENDER" class="com.test.TESTAppender"> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout" /> </appender>

for this i use below jars

 apache-log4j-extras.jar log4j.jar

and when I deploy the war file to tomcat, it gives below exceptions

 log4j:ERROR Could not create an Appender. Reported error follows. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.test.TESTAppender at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:355) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:354) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:425) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:358) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:191) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.Loader.loadClass(Loader.java:198) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.parseAppender(DOMConfigurator.java:247) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.findAppenderByName(DOMConfigurator.java:176) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.findAppenderByReference(DOMConfigurator.java:191) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.parseAppender(DOMConfigurator.java:284) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.findAppenderByName(DOMConfigurator.java:176) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.findAppenderByReference(DOMConfigurator.java:191) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.parseChildrenOfLoggerElement(DOMConfigurator.java:523) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.parseCategory(DOMConfigurator.java:436) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.parse(DOMConfigurator.java:1004) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.doConfigure(DOMConfigurator.java:872) at org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator.doConfigure(DOMConfigurator.java:778) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.OptionConverter.selectAndConfigure(OptionConverter.java:526) at org.apache.log4j.LogManager.<clinit>(LogManager.java:127) at org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:104) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.getLogger(Log4JLogger.java:289) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.<init>(Log4JLogger.java:109) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:45) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:526) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl.createLogFromClass(LogFactoryImpl.java:1116) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl.discoverLogImplementation(LogFactoryImpl.java:914) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl.newInstance(LogFactoryImpl.java:604) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl.getInstance(LogFactoryImpl.java:336) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl.getInstance(LogFactoryImpl.java:310) at org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog(LogFactory.java:685) at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.<clinit>(ContextLoader.java:146) at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener.createContextLoader(ContextLoaderListener.java:53) at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener.contextInitialized(ContextLoaderListener.java:44) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:5016) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal(StandardContext.java:5528) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$StartChild.call(ContainerBase.java:1575) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$StartChild.call(ContainerBase.java:1565) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

but the TESTAppender class is available along this path / WEB -INF / classes / com / test / I cannot understand why this exception is coming.

suggest.
