How to write a Java 3D element on a web page *without* the client installing plug-ins like Java3D

I'm trying to write a 3D demo for a client which will simply display a 3D object on a web page and let them manipulate it with the mouse.

At first I thought I could do this fairly easily with the Java 3D API but it seems that to do so, you have to install it first. It's one thing to get the client to accept that the end-user will have to install a common plugin (Java) but I don't think they'll go for the Java3D API too.

I think I need to use webstart but what confuses me is how can I do 3d in Java without needing the client to install Java 3D?

Bit new to this, sorry if it's complete rubbish.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Deploy the Java 3D applet using Java Web Start in a Plug-In 2 architecture (1.6.0_10+) JRE. JWS makes it simple to install natives, and in fact there is a Java 3D extension JNLP ready to hook into.
