Description jchristi 2004-11-05 21:48:26 UTC 
I attempted to use the attach via PID method,
where the JVM is running as a service (Tomcat
running under jk_nt_service).

When I do this I get the following error message:
Starting Profile DLL inside the process with PID
2132 failed
Reason: could not get process handle.
Possible causes: a wrong PID or a security issue.
Comment 1 mishadmitriev 2004-11-05 21:59:58 UTC 
It's likely that this issue is not a JFluid defect. I am not an 
expert in Win2K security system (if such a thing exists :-)), but I 
guess that in this case it's really an OS that prevents potentially 
dangerous things from happening. Presumably, the OS, by default at 
least, does not allow an aribtrary process to start a DLL inside a 
process that runs as a service. You probably have to have 
Administrator rights and/or some additional rights to be able to do 
that.
Comment 2 mishadmitriev 2004-12-01 03:50:45 UTC 
I believe in this case you are really trying to get through a 
security mechanism in Windows, so this is not a JFluid issue
