Migration from WAS 8.5.5 to WAS 9 Liberty Server - web

I have been working with migrations of applications from WAS 8.5.5 to WAS 9 Liberty Server. Is there anyone who can confirm what requirements must be met?
My application is built in Java 6 - what kind of other technologies do I need for migration?

IBM provides a collection of articles that talk about the basics of migrating applications to Liberty. These pages include links to tools meant to scan the environment and identify the changes needed to make applications compatible with Liberty and produce sample server configuration.
I'd suggest you read through these and see if they answer your basic questions, and then you can post more specific questions if you need to.

Question about commercial use of generated JHipster apps

I'd like to get some business apps up and running quickly with the use of JHipster, which seems like a solid approach; assuming it is allowed. Is the commercial use of a generated JHipster application allowed and if so, what are the proper steps to take in in order to not infringe upon any terms and conditions of open source?
I apologize if this has been asked previously.
I really just need to know how I can go about using an instance of a generated application for something other than an open-source project.
Sincerely,
Art
There are many closed source applications originally generated by JHipster. The generated project is fully yours.

How do you make a Hapi.JS plugin/module?

I'm new to both Node and Hapi.js, but not to programming.
I've made a few simple Hapi.js servers, just for testing out Joi and other plugins.
I'm now trying to understand how best to package up chunks of functionality in a Hapi way, so we can re-use them in future projects and potentially share them with the world!
Are there any good resources for learning this available?
EDIT:
I've found a few good resources, but non which go into deep details about the plugin system.
https://github.com/hapijs/hapi/issues/1489 - Getting Started Tutorial Contest
https://github.com/otodockal/hapi-tutorial - Entry in above contest, with a section on plugins
I've made a sample project which groups functionality into plugins which might be what you're looking for:
https://github.com/johnbrett/hapi-level-sample
If you're looking at sharing functionality between plugins, look at the usage of plugin.expose, plugin.depend.
If you have any questions on it, you can raise an issue on the github project.
The latest hapijs.com website has a good intro as well: http://hapijs.com/tutorials/plugins
For some additional detail about hapi plugins (and hapi in general), see the following:
Developing a hapi Edge: A Rich Node.JS Framework for Apps and Services - This book is available now (also from Amazon), and has a chapter on how to create a plugin in hapi.
Matt Harrison's upcoming hapi.js in Action - This book is available currently in "MEAP" (Manning Early Access Program), and will soon (?) have a chapter available on plugins ("Building modular applications with Plugins").
hapi plugin search engine
Getting Started with hapi.js by John Brett also has a chapter on creating and using plugins.
Edit 2015-10-04: The chapter "Building modular applications with Plugins" in Matt Harrison's above mentioned book is now available in the MEAP edition.

OpenCMIS supported ECM

We are planning to develop an application that can work with any ECM systems. SO we planned to use CMIS.
As our application is in Java, I came across openCMIS. It seemed all useful.
But now I need to know, which all repositories are tested/supported with openCMIS?
OpenCmis will be really helpful for many ecm systems but it is not a one common answer for all of them.
For example, for IBM CM or Filenet there is IBM CMIS which comes bundled with Content Navigator. Please note this is also lacking some basic functionalities and i developed that just recently. (on the latest version)
I would recommend to build the java application using the most relevant CMIS apis you need and for the closest specific ECM product.If you want to build it in a way which works on all ECM platforms then the coding needs to be in different way.
like - identify which ecm system is being called by your java program
and then load the classes or functions for that specific system.
Hope the above helps :)
This page lists CMIS servers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Management_Interoperability_Services
OpenCMIS is one the mostly used CMIS libraries, and I would say it is the most-tested CMIS library you can find.
I have not seen any "official supported list", but OpenCMIS at least works for Alfresco, IBM FileNet, NemakiWare, and most CMIS servers I have tried. A notable exception seems to be IBM Connections, because of a IBM Connections bug.

Does anyone know of a feature filled forum package for Umbraco 4.03?

I was wondering if anyone has built or know of a decent forum package for Umbraco 4.03??
I've had a little play with this but its a bit basic
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-forum-package
and
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/uforum-basics
I've found this article on how to integrate YAF forum but would rather have one which fits a bit better..
http://dawoe.blogspot.com/2009/02/intergrate-yet-another-forum-193rc2.html
Of course I know one answer, write or extend one of the above :) Any help would be gratefully received.
uForum is used to power the Our Umbraco community - so that's the current recommended forum package.
YAF is a fully-featured forum/bulletin-board web-application, which can be integrated with Umbraco (using an ASP.NET Membership Provider). Aside from that YAF is standalone.
Update: There is a new package called nForum.
I guess it depends on your requirements.
What features are lacking, clearly you know what you want so any guidance on what the forum should include will help.
Pretty much any asp.net based forum software would work with Umbraco. I guess the main thing would be the integration with the Membership provider in Umbraco. In this case Any forum software that could use a custom ASP.NET membership provider would integrate pretty much seamlessly.
There are plenty of opensource and commercial forum packages available for ASP.NET, just find one that matches your requirements and look at integrating it or running it alongside Umbraco.

Question About SubSonic Version 2.2

(Warning: This may be a stupid question...)
I am am one of those who are not willing to move to SubSonic 3.0. I am currently using a customized fork of SubSonic 1.(?). I want to migrate to version 2 for many reasons, and I have been successfully been playing with Subcommander. Cool stuff! Here's my question...
When I generate the DAL for 2 databases, when I put those DAL files into the same project, with SubSonic 2.2 allow me to connect to both of them in the same project/application at the same time?
Yes you can, but they will need to be in separate namespaces (I think). I've done it and I found that giving each its own project and namespace was the easiest to manage - especially with subcommander since each project can have its own config file.
You may also want to take a look at the SubStage application. I found it great for discovering the myriad of settings available with SubSonic code generation.
Multiple database support was first introduced with SubSonic 2.0 Beta 1. It is hard to find samples online, but the Starter Site project is still a good reference as it includes two database references. You can find the source on Google Code.
