For Linux developers who have trouble getting applets to work under web browsers . . .
I've found it much easier to monitor the network traffic using a network sniffer. To see the SOAP conversation, I run "ethereal", and click on "Capture", then "Start". Change the Interface to "lo" (loopback), and click ok. A status window will appear that counts the various types of traffic over localhost. Make your SOAP call. Click the close button on the status window. The main window will be populated with network traffic. Locate your SOAP call by looking for a http:// request. Right click it, a pop up window will appear. Left click "Follow TCP stream". A new window will appear containing the SOAP conversation. Nice and easy, and mucho easier than getting applets working under browsers under Linux.
