Using above configurations for logback.....log statements are being displayed on console but test.log is not created and I dnt find any logs even in the file after me creating the file..do I need to write any other configurations

Answer 1

Your logback.xml is not placed where logback looks for it, so it silently falls back to a "print to console" configuration.

See http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html for all the details about the configuration mechanism.
