To be a little more precise, it is the Java runtime that controls this.
The runtime classes search for the library in the directories named in the
System property "java.library.path".  If you do not specify a value for
the property, the JVM initializes it on startup to a list of directories
that mimics the search list that the host operating system uses.

I dug into this in detail about 5 years ago.  If you want all of the gory
detail, see:
