i added the debug string the file log4j.xml since there was no file named log4.xml at mentioned location.
this time nothing got logged into server.log file however i noticed log in boot.log file as follows
02:38:27,595 INFO [SCRIPTING_LOG] [Add a SOAP host/Manage SSL certificates (7/17/13 02:38:25)] Certificate information: Properties:1051554804

Please let me know if i did something wrong?
SOAP Plugin which i am using is 1.0 which is the only avialable right now with vCO 5.1
