I am working on a Java application that uses the jMonkeyEngine (v1) for its 3D visualization and it ties in with another piece of software that is written in C++. The code base is about 8 years old now. The client has shown interest in moving their application onto the Internet.

So my question is this, which online technologies should I look at to be able to make this move as smooth as possible? I realize that I'll probably need to rewrite most if not all of the code to make this happen (in WebGL?).

Has anyone done this sort of thing in the past that can give me tips on things to look out for?

Any suggested libraries that I should investigate? I'm currently looking at:

You may be able to keep some/most of your original code if you use GWT.

Java applets seem to be a dying technology :

They are dead. Don't use them.

I hear libGDX has a web backend, https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/

Now, I don't like the framework, its designed as a single inter dependant blob so it gets kinda complex to use it for particular things and not for others. I suppose that if you use it for all your things it should be a much smoother experience.

In any case its a quite popular framework nevertheless.
