If you want to log query actions, then a trigger is the best, since it'll be pretty much error proof if set up properly. If you want to log business operations, then the DB/log4j distinction becomes a matter of how you want to use the data. Obviously having the log data in a DB facilitates easy report extraction (you just query the table(s)). On the flip side, logging to the DB is very likely going to be more resource intensive than logging to a file.
