Alan Thanks for the tips. I had seen the setCapabilityRequiredMap field on the Javadoc for the VRML97Loader and thought I bet it has something to do with this field! The problem is I am a little naive as to how to go about implementing this if you could post a couple of links as to where to see examples I would be grateful.
As for XJ3D my colleague and I have considered looking more into XJ3D but neither of us have any experience with XML and are nervous of undertaking the learning of XJ3D. Again if you could point me in the right direction as to how to go about learning XJ3D I would be grateful.
