Afaik, Tomcat gives you a servlet container (subset of j2ee spefications). Geronimo seems to deliver containers for other j2ee spefications too (A quick search leads me to http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/J2EESpecs for a full list.. I think Java Persistence is going to become a really important speficiation..)

Would hosts switch from Tomcat to Geronimo ?
Can either of these run php parallelly ?

By default geronimo seems to be configured to use jetty as servlet container. But from what i've read untill now it should be fairly easy to switch to tomcat instead.

The big advantage of the servlet container specifications that you exactly knows what will work (no matter which implementation is used) unlike writing a program that uses php ;)

I don't really see how it is related to php...
