How to show javascript alert popup after commandLink action?

Question

Hi,
I'm building an ADF-based .jspx page. I have a commandLink whose action calls a method in my page's backing bean. I want to show a javascript alert popup when the commandLink is clicked and after the backing bean method has been called. The text displayed in the alert popup is dependent on whether the processing in the method was successful or not.
I couldn't figure out how this could be done though. It doesn't seem I can use the onClick attribute on the commandLink because that gets called before my backing bean method gets called. From my backing bean method, is there some way to launch a javascript alert popup and show certain text in it based on what happened in the method?
Thanks for any ideas.

Hello and thank you for your reply,
I am trying to combine dwr and ADF.
When I use the following code to grasp the input value from the user
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding expr = fc.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{bindings['LIMARXESPORTCODE_bindVariable2'].inputValue}");
setLIMARXESPORTCODEbindVariable( expr.getValue(fc).toString() );
in order to use it as a dynamic bind variable to the where clause of the following query:
vo.setWhereClause("LIMARXESPORTCODE = :LIMARXESPORTCODE_bindVariable");
vo.defineNamedWhereClauseParam("LIMARXESPORTCODE_bindVariable", null, null);
vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("LIMARXESPORTCODE_bindVariable", LIMARXESPORTCODEbindVariable );
executeAndShowResults(vo);
in the backing bean java code. All I get as an output from a javascript alert window is null.
However, when the bean member variable LIMARXESPORTCODEbindVariable has a
hard coded, static value i.e. LIMARXESPORTCODEbindVariable = 111; and the first code snippet is commented out, everything works just fine!
Any hint is welcome,
