Just to clarify one issue with the "RPC Call" column mod... There were no
extra *code* dependencies brought in, if that's what you mean. I saw that
TCPMon was standalone and had no XML parser even, so it does a somewhat
simplistic String search to extract the RPC Call.
But more importantly, TCPMon does seem somewhat unfamiliar with SOAP. You
mention SOAPMonitor. I can't seem to find that in Axis anywhere, or even on
Google. What is it, and where can I get it one of them thar thangs? I was
only using TCPMon because that's all I was aware of.

I like it being a stand-alone app - when the i18n stuff was added
I specifically asked that TCPMon get its own file to keep it separate
from the rest of Axis. So your "RPC Call" hook, while really
interesting, would bring in a dependency that I would prefer not
be there. To be honest the proxy support and XML formatting should
probably be plugs-ins too, but those are pretty commonly used.
As far as hook-points, a couple that come to mind are:
- on the Admin page to add more options
- at the time a new listener is created (this would be when you
could create your "RPC Sync" tab.
- at the time a new connection is made
- when data is read (one thing I've been meaning to add is support
for writting out the data to a file so that an "untouched"
version is available for people. The stuff that goes to the
screen is too tweaked sometimes.)
- when data it written to the screen (ala. XML formatting)
- and to complete it, when a connection is closed
- when the list of connections is displayed. (One thing that
SOAPMonitor has that TCPMon doesn't is the ability to filter
which messages are displayed - which I find handy)
In order to do this quite a bit of restructing would probably have to
be done - for example, to allow people to easily add new columns to
the top-most table (like for your RPC method name).
You might want to consider adding some of your ideas (like the RPC Call)
one to SOAPMonitor instead since that truely is SOAP/Axis aware.
