Problem: Jep libraries (libjep.so and jep.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so) are not in the java.library.path. This causes an error when the application attempts to interact with the jep code:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jep in java.library.path: [/usr/java/packages/lib, /usr/lib64, /lib64, /lib, /usr/lib]

Steps to reproduce:

• Deploy the latest code of the sonataflow operator
• Deploy the sonataflow demo (https://github.com/hbelmiro/sonataflow-inference-pipeline-demo).Note that you'll need to change the base image referenced in the 01-sonataflow-platform.yaml` to quay.io/ricardozanini/sonataflow-python-devmode:latest
• Wait for the pod to be in running and ready state.
• Launch the route provided (oc get route)
• Upload image attached in the ticket and click the `process image` button

Expected result:

• Image is processed correctly

Actual result:

• Image fails to process and the pod logs show the stacktrace shown earlier.
