If one is merely interested in JMS, is there any reason to prefer a
framework like Geronimo to Spring, given that my understanding is
correct? If my understanding is not correct, would you please
straighten me out? Thanks.

Michael,
Spring is not "moving away from Enterprise Java Beans". That is a huge
misnomer. Spring embraces J2EE, including EJBs as it has a complete API
to do so. Spring is an API that is very useful and helpful to
developers throughout the J2EE arena and beyond. So Spring can and
should be used with Geronimo, definately not as a replacement.
