Progress bar + EJB as back bean

[FkJ]

I'm using an EJB to process business logic from a page.

I'd like to use a progress bar, is it possible?

I've used the same logic from a JSF Managed Session Bean and it doesn't work. It seems that the component threads creates new EJB instances. I've tried with Stateless and Stateful.

Thanks for any help,
Felipe
