The SocketWatch example in Chapter 13 of my "Java Servlet Programming"
(see sig) also works like a sniffer, except instead of trying to catch
packets it just replaces the web server with a program that reports
everything the client sends. Get the applet started with the normal web
server, then on the request you want to watch, swap it out for your spy.

I think we're OK; I use SocketWatch quite often to diagnose servlet
errors. It and a sniffer should be standard tools for servlet
developers.
