The short answer is no, not really.

I don't think that your two questions provide mutually exclusive
answers. If you're building a 3d app for your website, java3d is almost
certainly a very good choice, particularly for a lone developer - it's
pretty easy to get into, and it does the simple stuff well.

As to whether there are better alternatives, there probably are
alternatives that are better in some ways than java3d, though I don't
know of any.
