I couldn't get the attach to process thing to work, though (= without a port). Is it supposed to be doable ?
Neither have I (I am talking of tomcat running as Windows service). It seems that both processes : tomcat JVM and jconsole JVM have to be owned by the same user. Maybe that is the case with you? Hovewer, starting tomcat from my system account solves the problem.
For more info see:

Both jconsole and the application must by executed by the same user name. The management and monitoring system uses the operating system's file permissions.

I'm running both with the same usename on Windows, and it doesn't work. Since it's Windows and I like to be able to do stuff, I of course run with root privileges. Seems to me it would work on Unix, but is currently broken on Windows (I use XP pro SP 2), or something. Over a TCP port, it works good.
I couldn't find a comprehensive guide on all these nice system properties, while there's tons of docs on the new command line commands.
If I use the service, which runs with the SYSTEM account, it of course doesn't work any better ;)
For those interested in not wasting their time the way I just did, I just found this: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/agent.html

*Limitation*: On Windows, for security reasons, local monitoring and management is only supported if your default Windows temporary directory is on a file system that supports persistent access control lists (for example, on an NTFS file system). It is not supported on a FAT file system that provide insufficient access controls.

I obviously use FAT32, and I have to add that this limitation is quite stupid. No multi user setup would run FAT and expect security, so you are fine allowing anything you want on FAT (at least, I can't see how it makes stuff more secure).
