Open Source Portal Container other than Gatein - open-source

We have done a proof-of-concept using Gatein 3.5 which runs well with JBoss AS7.
However, JBoss AS7 only has a community edition and we cannot proceed with it. Thus, we have to switch to JBoss 6 enterprise version.
Unfortunately, Gatein doesn't work with JBoss 6. I had raised this issue in JBoss/Gatein community and they stated that Gatein in JBoss 6 is not a good combination.
Please let me know some open source portal container which can run on JBoss 6.

Bipul, I think you misunderstood the recommendation in the forum.
You were proposed to upgrade from 3.4 (With JBoss AS 6) to 3.5 With JBoss AS 7.
If you are looking for a solution with GateIn 3.5 and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, you should know that we will very soon release JBoss Portal Platform 6 that will be exactly this.
You can already download an evaluation version here:

Tomorrow (Tuesday), there is an intro to the platform: https://engage.redhat.com/forms/20130212_JBossPP_tipsandtricks?sc_cid=70160000000URk2AAG&offer_id=701600000007O1kAAE

OpenShift and Restheart

I have to use Restheart APIs in an OpenShift application.
I tried to execute restheart.jar as suggested in the installation and use guide, but it produced an error, due to the difference between the installed java version (openjdk 7) and the required one (oracle java 8).
Is there any trick to get Restheart APIs working in an OpenShift app?
OpenShift does not support JDK 8 but that doesn’t mean you can’t run Java 8 applications.
You can use a DIY cartridge and install your own JDK version. 

Unable to build for windows phone with Titanium SDK 5.1

When I try to build for Windows Phone the sdk can't complete the build and dies with exit code 1, the only error I can see is part of the sdk for windows phone.
Default alloy app project has the same result of my app! Is anybody able to build for windows phone with Titanium ?
My environment:
Windows 10
TiSDK 5.1.1
Visual Studio Community 2015
NodeJS 0.12.7
Well, not sure we tried with SDK 5.1.1...
But we can build using SDK 5.2.0 - however, there are many things that don't work. The next version (5.3.x) is targeted against Windows Mobile. And by using the nightly build we could actually make ti.map work :-)
So I suggest you go down that route until 5.3.x is officially released (mid April, if I remember correctly).
Edited:
Just for completeness. We are running on:
Windows 10 professional
Node.js v. 0.12.7
Visual Studio 2015 Community edition

JDK 8 support for Wildfly 8.1 OpenShift cartridge

Still no Java 8 (JDK) support for the OpenShift Wildfly 8.1 cartridge? Is this a limitation of the SELinux gear? Or can I just create a Java 8 JDK cartridge and a modified Wildfly 8 cartridge and combine them in the same gear?
As of june 3rd, there is JDK 8 support for wildfly.
See https://www.openshift.com/content/support-for-jdk-8#comment-39656
As can be read here: https://community.jboss.org/people/fjuma/blog/2014/06/03/wildfly-810final-on-openshift--with-jdk-8-support new wildfly instances from scratch will default to JDK 8.
OpenShift currently does not support JDK8 yet.
Once it will be added WildFly cartridge will be updated to add support for it.
There is also running discussion about this on wildfly-dev mailing list.
for more see http://wildfly-development.1055759.n5.nabble.com/WildFly-8-1-0-CR1-on-OpenShift-tt5713989.html#none

Installing DotNetNuke 7 with MySQL and in .Net 3.0 environment?

I just registered a hosting service from www.amhosting.com and they said that the Server support MySQL and .Net 3.0 only while the site I am installing is DNN 7 which is running with MSSQL and .Net 4.0.
So what is the solution for this case?
Could I run DNN 7 in .net 3.0 environment?
or should I downgrade the DNN to lower version that is able to run in .net 3.0?
How to configure the DNN site to run with MySQL?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
Timmy
I think you should change your hosting solution.
From what I know DNN7 only works with .NET 4.0 / 4.5
MySql - god forbid, you're in a world of pain. I have heard about attempts to make the DNN Core compatible with MySql... but it's only the Core, and any such projects would be outdated in a matter of months, as DNN does release quite often.
Talking about third party modules, which sooner or later you'll be bound to download from codeplex or buy from Dnn store - forget about. no dnn developer out there provides scripts for mysql.
Good luck!
As Greg states, you won't have an easy time getting DNN working in 2.0 (there was no 3.0, but 3.5 exists) with MYSQL, and you will be limited based on the "provider" for MYSQL.
Go with another hosting company that does Windows Hosting with MSSQL options, there are plenty of them out there for low cost, you'll save a lot more money changing hosting, than you will trying to get mysql working with DNN, and you won't have any upgrade options available to you.

Which version of WebSphere is best for JSF2.0 web dev with PrimeFaces3.1

I am newbie with WebSphere. Recently I downloaded WebSphere Community Edition version 3 (WASCE v3) but there is no description about using WASCE v3 with JSF2.0 in the guide "Getting started with WASCE". I already build my web in Apache Tomcat 7.0.11 with JSF2.0 and PrimeFaces 3.1. I am using eclipse INDIGO. Now i have to shift my server to WebSphere. Please suggest me the best version of WebSphere, which is suitable for JSF2.0 with PrimeFaces3.1?
Thank you.
WASCE 3 is a Java EE 6 container, so it has support for JSF 2.0 (if it wouldn't have this, it couldn't be called Java EE 6).
Do note that people typically don't mean WASCE when they refer to WebSphere. WASCE is another name for the server otherwise known as Apache Geronimo. The difference is that it's specifically supported by IBM.
What people do mean with WebSphere is the one you can find here: ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was
For JSF 2.0 you would need the latest version, which is version 8.
