On a couple occasions, I’ve used a technique like this to have messages coming back from a server call appear as on-page notifications:

You can use that route with the shipped-with-the-server Dojo control:

Could you not use onComplete?

<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"refreshMode="partial"refreshId="YOURCURRENTPANEL">
<xp:this.onComplete><![CDATA[XSP.partialRefreshGet("#{id:2NDPANEL}")]]></xp:this.onComplete>

The 2nd panel could contain your message to the user, maybe with visible code based on a requestScope variable you set also during the onComplete? (Better ways to do this, but you get the idea?)

How about dGrowl messages? https://xcellerant.net/dgrowl-in-xpages/ and there is a NotesIn9 on this.

I would suggest providing Growl the Java way. You can also call it SSJS ofcourse https://elstarit.nl/?p=143 – Patrick Kwinten Sep 17 '18 at 06:09
