I am tying to integrate Ajax, a Java applet and a 3D viewer (Flux X3D/
VRML Player). I was able to make it work locally on IE6 and 7. It does
not work on Firefox (yet). The reason it does not work online is due
to security reasons (reading the webservice from a different
location).
In the demo you can add a box, a sphere, a small number of music
groups and finally a large number of music groups similar to U2. The
last one uses a webservice from last.fm.
