I have simple Jersey based web service running on TomCat 9. I do development in Eclipse IDE. Server and IDE are on the same windows machine. I'm using Postman utility to generate test requests.
I would like somehow to see all request/response traffic between service and postman. What is the best way to do that?
Postman will show you everything sent and received in the request (url, headers and content), but you can use a tool like Fiddler to view intercepted HTTP requests.

The best way is to use Tomcat's Request Dumper Filter. It's the best in the sense you don't need anything more than what you already have.
If you do not insist on a eclipse integration you could use burp( https://portswigger.net/burp ).
In proxymode you can play "man in the middle" at your localhost and get every content.
You have just to setup burp as your proxy and you are done. You are also able to stop traffic etc. etc. This works for all kind of network traffic.
The tool is also available in a community edition.

We are working on a project that uses Open fire(Xmpp) protocol. I have to capture that traffic(xmpp). suggest me tool and process.?
does wireshark work for xmpp traffic.?
Another suggestion only relevant if you happen to be using Smack:
If you are just trying to debug the traffic for a particular client while developing it and you happen to be using Smack as your client side library (just a guess since we are talking about openfire), then you can also make use of the Smack debug console. Adding the Java system property -Dsmack.debugEnabled=true will cause a debug console window to open each time an XMPP connection is established. IT shows traffic in/out and other useful information.
Yes, Wireshark works for XMPP traffic, as long as it is unencrypted.
If the connection is encrypted, you may be able to decrypt it by following the instructions at https://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL .
For monitors conversations and statistics of the openfire server,you can use Monitoring Service plugin in openfire.
For install
Go to server web amdin panel
Go to plugin menu
click on available plugin
find and install Monitoring Service plugin.
Is there any way to test rest Webservices in SAP?
I know it's possible to test SOAP Webservices with eCATT but to do that a WSDL file is needed.
The Problem with rest Webservices is, there is no such WSDL file.
Thanks in advance.
I'm assuming from your question that you'd like to test the service from within your SAP system rather than by using an external tool.
If you have access to a system that has the Gateway components deployed, you can use the Gateway client (transaction code /IWFND/GW_CLIENT). It provides a very similar set of functionality to Postman, Paw, et al.
You can use some rest clients available on the browsers:
Postman -> Chrome
RESTClient -> Firefox
Futhermore, if you need a more robust client, you can use SoapUI. See this link.
You may use Fiddler.
Here is detailed instructions on how to test a web service (I know the instructions are for asp.net web services but the Fiddler part should work for any web services).
I need to show to a user an interface of some application running on a server using a browser. It should be like RDP-client for a single application on a server.
Are there any solutions or services that can implement following functionality? Maybe Citrix?
Thanks in advance!

About FreeRDP-WebConnect
FreeRDP-WebConnect is an open source gateway for accessing RDP
sessions using any HTML5 compliant browser. In particular it relies on
the Canvas and the WebSockets feature. FreeRDP-WebConnect is a
subproject of the FreeRDP project.
On the server side, a standalone daemon - written in C++ - provides a
Web page via HTTPS (or HTTP, if configured) and uses FreeRDP libs to
connect as a client to any RDP session. The server side WebSockets
implementation handles current RFC6455 only, so browsers that
implement the older drafts do not work. With RFC6455 being raised to
the "Proposed Standard" level, this should change now really soon.
I would create an account on the server for the user, and only give it access to the one application it needs access to.
You can use Cameyo. To start, create yourself a free account, and click on "Add App". If your installer supports unattended installation, you simply need to submit it. Otherwise, you can build a Cameyo package locally and send it in. It will then be playable as HTML5.
You don't indicate what server you are running on.
As an alternative to FreeRDP-Webconnect cited above, also open source and also using FreeRDP as rdp client through an HTTP gateway, there is Myrtille.
FreeRDP-WebConnect embeds a standalone daemon written in C++ to provide a web page via HTTP(S), and so will also work on Linux servers, while Myrtille have a IIS/.NET (C#) implementation and an MSI installer, thus is more intended for Windows Servers.
I need to be able to look at and describe the client and server communication between my browser and the Google server.
I have downloaded net-tools but can't specifically see the communication, I've tried Wireshark but this brings too many things into it.
How can I see the communication and describe it using some sort of a web debugger tool?
You can use the network tab in Chromes developer tools or in Firebug for Firefox to see all request that are sent to a server. You could also use Fiddler.

I'm working with SOAP based web services that require authentication. I usually use the Eclipse Web Service explorer to explore the offered services but for the services requiring authentication, there does not seem to be an authentication option and I keep getting the 401 response.
I tried online clients as well. There is one at http://soapclient.com/soaptest.html but it also exhibits the same behavior.
When I try to access the web services through the browser I get the username/password prompt and it works.
I have also tried using https://username:password#webserviceURL. Again, this works in the browser but not in Eclipse or the online SoapClient utility.
Any ideas how I can get do this ?
It was pretty trivial in SoapUI.
I also found an online client that works with the http://username:password#webserviceURL pattern. Its at : http://tools.pointbeing.net/wsdlviewer
