Anjan, configureAndWatch() method is expecting a path to a file. It does not support urls, as far as I know.
I have proposed a set of extensions based on the configureAndWatch() functionality. The extensions attempt to allow more flexibility and options to specify a source for a "watchdog" that will reconfigure log4j when the source changes. Currently it supports file, url, and socket. If you have time, I would be interested to know if it solves your issue as well.
