Dropwizard specifying external log4j configuration file name

As discussed here from Dropwizard 1.2.4 it is possible to use log4j in place of logback. The steps are also mentioned in the documentation.

But I am not able to locate how can I specify the log4j file name and location in the configuration file. Can some one let me know how can I specify the log4j configuration file name and its location?

As explained in the Log4j documentation the log4j file location can be specified using the system property log4j.configurationFile.
