what must be specified in the fx:controller=""

I used some commands for getting the controller of a fxml file. at first I used an address like this:

fx:controller="PersonOverviewController"

and the code in main class was like this

FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(MainApp.class.getResource("view/PersonOverview.fxml"));
AnchorPane ap = loader.load();

PersonOverviewController pc = loader.getController();
pc.setTableContent(this);

but it doesn't work. in another attempt, I changed the

fx:controller="address.view.PersonOverviewController"

and this time it worked. Why this is the case?

FXMLLoader needs the binary name of the controller class to be specified. If the package of your PersonOverviewController is address.view you therefore have to include it in the attribute value.

FXMLLoader basically creates the controller instance like this, if no controller factory is set:

String fxController = ...
Class controllerClass = getClassLoader().loadClass(fxController);
Object controller = controllerClass.newInstance();
