multiple progressBars in one dataTable

[asookazian]

I have a JSF page which has a rich:scrollableDataTable in it that has a column which may need to render a rich:progressBar (i.e. if there are 5 rows in the dataTable, then I may need to render 5 progressBars).

Is this possible to do in JSF/RF? In addition, I have two types of progressBars for two types of actions: one is a call to a web service, the other is a local CRUD operation.

Once the user clicks the one and only submit button, I would like to show the progressBars "in action" without refreshing the JSF page. Is this possible to do? thx.

I'm thinking that I'll have to create a new backing bean instance for each progressBar in a loop.

If I do this will it work? Or does RF not support this functional requirement?

And can I do the local CRUD operation (using EntityManager API) in the progressBar backing bean itself or must I do it in a separate Seam component as I am now doing?

This looks like the thing that will break tiers separation.

Yes, re-render it or just make transition it to "started" state using JavaScript API and then back to "stopped".

And yes, rich:progressBar can be put inside rich:scrollableDataTable. If you have parallel processes, then several bean instances are necessary, otherwise a single one is enough.
