Setting "java.util.logging.manager" during weblogic startup gives ClassNotFoundException

In-order to achieve custom loggin , am overriding java.util.logging.LogManager. Now i need to point "java.util.logging.manager" system property to my CustomLogManager class.

In jdev , its possobie by setting java options in project properties. "-Djava.util.logging.manager=project8.CustomLogManager" .

I edited the startWebLogic.sh , and added the same.

# START WEBLOGIC

echo "starting weblogic with Java version:"

${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${JAVA_VM} -version

if [ "${WLS_REDIRECT_LOG}" = "" ] ; then
    echo "Starting WLS with line:"
    echo "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${JAVA_VM} ${MEM_ARGS} -Djava.util.logging.manager=project8.CustomLogManager -Dweblogic.Name=${SERVER_NAME} -Djava.security.policy=${WL_HOME}/server/lib/weblogic.policy ${JAVA_OPTIONS} ${PROXY_SETTINGS} ${SERVER_CLASS}"

But while starting the admin server ,am getting this error..

 weblogic.Server
Could not load Logmanager "project8.CustomLogManager "

But at the same time , right after that I can see my CustomLogManager.jar getting imported. I have the CustomLogManager.jar , under /domain-folder/bin/ .

<Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000395> <Following extensions directory contents added to the end of the classpath:
/export/......../CustomLogManager.jar

So any idea how I can avoid getting ClassNotFound error.?

Thanks in advance

Include your CustomLogManager.jar in your WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH
