JavaFX ComboBox itemsProperty binding

I'm pretty new to JavaFX, and just tried property bindigs. It worked fine with StringProperty, and BooleanProperty, but now I have to bind some data to a ComboBox.

This is the line, where it dies. It's in a controller class for an FXML:

comboBox.itemsProperty().bind(root.itemsProperty());

Here is the class of root:

import javafx.beans.property.ObjectProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleObjectProperty;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;

public class SectionComboBox extends SectionControl{

    private final ObjectProperty<ObservableList> items = new SimpleObjectProperty<>();
    }

    public ObservableList getItems() {
        return items.get();
    }

    public void setItems(ObservableList value) {
        items.set(value);
    }

    public ObjectProperty itemsProperty() {
        return items;
    }
}

The error log:

I've figured it out, since yesterday. The only problem was, that I forgot to initialize the ObservableList before binding it to the ComboBox. So, this is the missing line, fmo the very beginning:

root.setItems(FXCollections.observableArrayList());
