Download multiple files with one button primefaces

Question

Is it possible to download multiple files at once using PrimeFaces p:fileDownload

What I had in mind would be like

  <p:commandButton value="Download All Documents" 
                             styleClass="GreenButton" 
                             icon="fa fa-download" 
                             title="Download all documents, generated and uploaded."
                             onclick="PrimeFaces.monitorDownload(null, hideLoader);"
                             update=":growl">
 <!-- code Here 
        < ui:repeat> p:downloadFile (file) </ui:repeat>
--> 
            </p:commandButton>

I have a list of documents that needs to be dynamically, the list will differ so should be dynamically. Is there a way to do this and so how?

@JasperdeVries would this be the only way? had a zip file in mind — Tinus Jackson, May 10 '17 at 12:04

I would not annoy the user with multiple downloads. Just create a zip file containing your files.

See:
