If it runs on the terminal but not in a browser ON THE SAME MACHINE, the problem might be that Java3D wasn't installed in a global fashion on the machine. This sounds like the issue as you stated she needs paths set up to find the libraries -- if Java3D was installed properly, Java should find it automatically, no need for library paths or classpaths. If the issue is that Java3D's not running on a different machine, there's another point there: Java3D isn't just jar files you can include with your application -- it's also low-level C libraries that are operating-system dependent. If the system that's running the web browser doesn't have those libraries, Java3D won't run no matter what. And if you created a Java WebStart application or something, it'd still only be able to run on a specific operating system if it included the C libraries for that system.
