Configure log4j to log filenames without .java filetype

I would like to log class names (excluding package prefix) as well as methods in the following way:

<className>.<methodName>

Currently my xml layout for this is 

<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
  <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %5p [%t] (%F.%M) - %m%n" />
</layout>

which returns a filename that includes the .java file type.

Is there some way to configure log4j so that it will remove the .java from the filename?

If what you want is the class name, then you should consider the %C conversion character, as described in the Javadoc for PatternLayout.

For instance, to specify the unqualified class name:

<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
  <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %5p [%t] (%C{1}.%M) - %m%n" />
</layout>

Note the usage of the {1} qualifier, which designates the first rightmost component of the fully qualified class name.
