Order of headerFooter nodes

Hi,
I am using Aspose Words for java.I have a document with two sections having header in both. I am taking the header nodes from the document using the code

NodeCollection headFootNodes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.HEADER_FOOTER, true);
for (int hfCount = 0; hfCount < headFootNodes.getCount(); hfCount++)
{
    HeaderFooter headFoot = (HeaderFooter)headFootNodes.get(hfCount);
    if (headFoot.getStoryType() == StoryType.PRIMARY_HEADER || headFoot.getStoryType() == StoryType.EVEN_PAGES_HEADER || headFoot.getStoryType() == StoryType.FIRST_PAGE_HEADER)
    {
        System.out.println(headFoot.getStoryType());
    }//if
}//for

I am getting the second section’s header as first node and first sections header as second.Is this usual? I need to process the headers in order(firstpage->even_page).How to do that?

Hi
Thanks for your request. I think, in your case you can use code like the following:

// Open document.
Document doc = new Document("in.doc");
// Loop through section in the document.
for (Section sect: doc.getSections())
{
    // Process HeaderFooter nodes in order you need.
    if (sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.HEADER_FIRST) != null)
    {
        // Process first page header.
    }
    if (sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.HEADER_EVEN) != null)
    {
        // Process even page header.
    }
    if (sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.HEADER_PRIMARY) != null)
    {
        // Process primary page header.
    }
    if (sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_FIRST) != null)
    {
        // Process first page footer.
    }
    if (sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_EVEN) != null)
    {
        // Process even page footer.
    }
    if (sect.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY) != null)
    {
        // Process primary page footer.
    }
}

Hope this helps.
Best regards,
