Multiple JSF progressBar inside same component - jsf

Question

I´m trying to show the progress of several batch processes using a progressbar for each one of them. The problem is that only one progressbar is been sent to server side (the last one). Here is the code...
I made a RequestScoped Named bean for the progress beacause I read that for multiple progressBar it is needed a bean instance for each one of the progressbars, but that do not resolve my problem.
I'm using Primefaces 6.1 with JSF 2.2.
Any ideas? Thanks!

}
public void onCompleteJob(DMJob jobExecution)
{
Object[] parameters = {jobExecution.getName(), jobExecution.getExecutionId()};
Messages.displayInfoMessage("text.jobComplete", parameters);
}
}

Ok. The problem is that the PrimeFaces().start() method is not been executed over all the components generated by JSF. So, what I did is a javascript function which is executed when the page is fully loaded. In my case the components that I needed to initialize are several progress bar. My components are inside a data scroller which is inside a form, that's why I concat those id's. The 'i' is the index of each of the rendered progress bar in the page.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
startProgress();
});
function startProgress(){
var pid = document.getElementsByClassName('ui-progressbar');
var pidLength = pid.length;
for (var i = 0; i < pidLength; i++) {
var id = "formExecutions:scroller:".concat(i).concat(":progressBar");
PrimeFaces.getWidgetById(id).start();
}
}
</script>
And that was all!
