Are there two machines involved, or just one?

I.e., is your Web browser running on a different machine from the 
machine running the Java servlet?

If so, then:

...is the Solaris box the one running the servlet?

And, if so, is the browser running on some desktop machine where the 
admin doesn't get to say what software you run?

If so, you might try running Ethereal on *that* machine, instead.
