FXMLDocumentController.java

public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable {

    @FXML
    private Label result;
    private TextField textone;

    public FXMLDocumentController() {

    }
    @FXML
    private void addNumber(ActionEvent event) {
        System.out.println("Clicked. !");
        String str = textone.getText();
        result.setText(str);
    }

    @Override
    public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
        // TODO
    }    

}

I am developing using netbeans with scene builder. When I run this project and click Add Number button, I got an exception.

Answer 1

Thanks for your comment Jose Pereda.

Just a simple careless mistake. As Jose Pereda said, I added @FXML annotation for textone and it worked fine.

Answer 2

package net.remark.abs.invoice;

import java.util.Date;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane;
import net.remark.abs_bos.Invoice;
import net.rojer.core.db.DataBase;
import net.rojer.javafx.tool.Tools;

public class FrameInvoice extends AnchorPane{

    @FXML 
    private TextField fldInvoiceNumber;

    @FXML
    private Label lblPrice;

    public FrameInvoice(){
        Tools.innitiateFxml(this);

    }

    @FXML
    private void  onSave (ActionEvent event){
        Invoice invo = new Invoice();
        invo.setDate(new Date());
        invo.setTotal(0);
        invo.setStat((true));
        DataBase.begin();
        DataBase.em().persist(invo);
        DataBase.commit();
        System.out.println("true");
    }   
}

Answer 3

I have seen many posts regarding this error and many of them get failed.For me it was the same. try to make the fxml file again and let the IDE to create the controller and css. keep the default controller and css names as it is and attach newly created '.fxml' file to the code. For me It worked.copy the content from the scene builder ,but not by the xml code.
