java.library.path not set as LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Question

I'm running apache tomcat on a Linux machine hosted on google cloud, standard machine without anything fancy.

The machine host's back_end Java API business application which requires certain binary .so files to link to when running.

The required libraries are added to $LD_LIBRARRY_PATH

But when i run tomcat, java.library.path does not include this, and i get the error:

31-May-2022 11:20:16.378 INFO [main] jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows using OpenSSL was not found on the java.library.path: [/usr/java/packages/lib:/usr/lib/x86_64-li nux-gnu/jni:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib]

Im out of ideas, how do i setjava.library.path includes $LD_LIBRARY_PATH when java runs ?

Krgds.

MORE INFO:

running from commandline:

java -XshowSettings:properties

gives:

  java.library.path = $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
    /usr/lib/jni

    /usr/lib

But when tomcat/catalina, runs it tels:
