Geronimo is a lighweight, composable, Java EE-based application server. =
A full Java EE Geronimo application server contains multiple =
technologies (JPA, Servlet/JSP, JSF, JMS, etc=85).

I think of the Play Framework as fundamentally a Web Framework (e.g. =
JSF, Grails, Spring MVC, etc=85). You can run Play applications in =
standalone mode (I'm not sure if that's what Play calls it). You can =
also create a Play application, generate a .war file, and deploy the =
.war file on Geronimo.

Hope that helps.=20
