I work on a java web application. I use Weblogic 12c in my machine.

We have got a requirement of showing a custom message when we attempt to access a URL when the Weblogic service is down for maintenance instead of the usual 500 or 404 "Page Not Found". I'm not using the Apache layer. I'm directly using F5 layer instead.

I just learned that the F5 layer will take care of redirecting to this new page which has the custom message. But how do we configure that? Is there a specific configuration file (some kind of an xml file) where we would have to define this information?

You can do a redirection when all pool members are down with an iRule, or with a local traffic policy. The iRule can redirect to a different host/uri or host that sorry page locally on the BIG-IP. Here's an example of the latter, but can easily be customized for the former.
