1. A computer-implemented method for handling a resource request on behalf of a virtualized application process, the method comprising: receiving a resource access request from an executing process; extracting process information from the executing process; determining whether the extracted process information indicates that the executing process is associated with a virtual application process; and in response to determining that the executing process is associated with a virtual application process, identifying a virtual application environment in which the virtual application process is operating; redirecting the received request to the identified virtual application environment; and responding to the redirected resource request by providing access to the requested resource, wherein the preceding steps are performed by at least one processor.
