Java is great and is portable, not "Windows Only" as Pulse is.
Java3d is not yet a good a choice for most web work as it
requires Java 2 and OpenGL or another graphics layer.
You can standardize around VRML and use Java3d or
Java 1.0/1.1 depending on priority : performance vs. portability.
There are very good Java 3d rendering engines written in
Java 1.0/1.1 that are an excellent choice for web work and
your models and skills are portable between "Java3d" and
'Just Java' without the burdens and benefits of Java3d.

Any fool can write a 3d VRML Viewer, that's why I did ;^ )

Pulse is limited, proprietary, non-standard, non-portable.
Java has no limitations.

I use Java 1.0/1.1 for the web and Java3d for 'heavy lifting'
things like creating video clips :
" Java3d & VRML Loaders : Make '.mov'ies with JMF "
http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/java3d_and_vrml.html
- works with selected VRML-97 & x3d files ( see above )
Java 1 may be better for most people now, and Java3d might
best be avoided by newbies and others unless performance
or other demands require it, or you have a drive to be a pioneer
and have a willingness to absorb some bumps and bruises.
Look for Mozilla and Netscape 6 for the Best Yet web support
for Java ( Java 2 ) and 3d Graphics including VRML & Java.
Beyond the limitations of the PC ... is Java and the Web.
