Replacing headers/footers in XWPFDocument

Hello all,
I'm just starting using POI for docx. I need to replace headers/footers in
document with a new ones taken from another document (whole content
including pictures, tables fields, etc). Is it possible with POI?
Any tips would be appreciated?

Thanks Mirek

Re: Replacing headers/footers in XWPFDocument

It is possible but it takes a little more work than it should with the current API.

In my Wordinator project (https://github.com/drmacro/wordinator) I implemented support for generating DOCX files with multiple sections with section-specific headers and footers. You can crib the code I wrote (org.wordinator.xml2docx.generator.DocxGenerator.makeHeaderFooter(XWPFHeaderFooter, XmlObject))

I also see that I started working on an enhancement to the POI API for headers and footers but got sidetracked and haven't finished it--I don't know if I'll be able to find time for this but I still have my work lying around.

Cheers,

E.
