Best Practice would be to set these properties within your application and not 
on the JVM Command line. You are setting these at way too high a level in most 
cases. Just my .02 worth.

Adding this to the JVM options worked:
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/usr/apache/tomcat/ssl/TomcatTrustStore.p12 
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=XXXXXXXX

That isn't the way Java SE, Java EE (now Jakarta EE), JSSE, and web 
applications work.

Tomcat has ZERO role in out-going SSL connections. Any container that claims 
otherwise is doing nothing more than setting the relevant system properties.

It sounds like setting a trust store via system properties is your only option 
(although personally I'd be raising a bug against that 3rd-party app as relying 
on system properties for configuration can be fragile).
