I'm wrote a small java app that I will run in a jsp. The vendor supplied jars also come with shared libraries that are required. Their documentation says to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory where you put the libraries. This works fine when running the app from a terminal environment after setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The problem is that when I run the jsp it's run from an application that runs as a service, so LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set in that environment. In searching on this issue I found MANY people saying it's bad to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I've tried running ldconfig -n and the directory but it hasn't seemed to work. So what is the proper way to do this? I want to set these libraries and have them set after a system restart, etc. Thanks, James
