LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; to set or not to set....

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
