Twitter Bootstrap with Primefaces (JSF)

Question

I'm trying to use Primefaces 3.2 (perhaps it's related to JSF in general) with Twitter Bootstrap 2.0.2 (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap).

I've added to the starter-example (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/starter-template.html) a drop down menu with the following scripts in <h:head>:

<script src="/resources/js/bootstrap.js"></script>  
<script src="/resources/js/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
<script src="/resources/js/bootstrap-dropdown.js"></script>

This works fine on the JSF page, but if I add a simple p:dataTable

<p:dataTable var="i" value="#{testBean.list}">
  <p:column>
    <f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Item"/></f:facet>
    <h:outputText value="#{i}"/>
  </p:column>
</p:dataTable>

the dropdown menu is not working anymore. I suppose it's JavaScript related, but not sure where to search for this bug.

First of all you better use h:outputScript to load js files...

I think its cause of conflicts between primefaces jquery and the manually included one...

PrimeFaces 3.2 comes with jQuery 1.7.1, So...

Remove the

<script src="/resources/js/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script> from your code

and modify your include in the following way in your <h:head> element

<f:facet name="first">
  <h:outputScript library="js" name="bootstrap.js"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputScript library="primefaces" name="jquery/jquery.js"/>
<h:outputScript library="js" name="bootstrap-dropdown.js"/>

Also take a look at JQuery Conflicts with Primefaces? and related resource ordering.
