Daniel's (successful) integration is of x*y[x], whereas I read the original posting as wanting the integration of x*y[x]^b,
in which case
Integrate[ x*y[x]^b, {x, 0, a},
Assumptions -> {a > 0, 1 > b > 0, c > 0, d > 0} ]
produces the (slightly simpler and unconditional on b) output
(a ((-1 + c)^(1/b))^b d)/c
