Log4jConfigListener Deployment Issue

It looks like Spring framework's Log4jConfigListener is having an issue when webapp is deployed as WAR. Log4jConfigListener is defined in web.xml. I got the below error while deploying the application in weblogic 10.3.
weblogic.management.DeploymentException: Cannot set web app root system property when WAR file is not expanded - with nested exception:  [java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot set web app root system property when WAR file is not expanded].

The solution is deploy the WAR as exploded or don't use Log4jConfigListener. The spring framework documentation also says the WAR should be exploded.

There is some update here. There is a solution available to this without any code change. We just need to set "Archived Real Path Enabled" option checked. Please check this blog entry on how to enable.
