NOTE: As of Oracle JET Version 5.0, the below can be achieved by Oracle JET's oj-message component, as described here : http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/jet/jetCookbook.html?component=messages&demo=pageInline _________________________________________________________________________________ Today I had to implement a mechanism to show user notifications in the Oracle JET application that I am currently working on. One could show a simple popup to tell a user that changes have been saved, or even use a javascript alert to do that. There are also other, more sophisticated solutions that work pretty well.
