JavaFX: Exception in thread “JavaFX Application Thread” java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

I am working on Java FX project I'm created two FXML file and i want to load another pane to main pain which is Border Pane. I want to load another pane to Border Pane center area!

Here is my entry point of my project that is a Java file

package javafxapplication8;

    import java.io.IOException;
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.fxml.FXML;
    import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
    import javafx.scene.Parent;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
    import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;

    /**
     *
     * @author Anu
     */
    public class JavaFXApplication8 extends Application {

        @Override
        public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
            Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"));
            Scene scene = new Scene(root);
            stage.setScene(scene);
            stage.show();
        }
        @FXML
        void handleButtonAction(MouseEvent event) throws IOException {
        }
        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            launch(args);
        }
    }

After that this display the main FXML file which show my Border Pane

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <?import com.jfoenix.controls.JFXButton?>
    <?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
    <?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>

    <AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="200" prefWidth="320" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.171" 
                fx:controller="javafxapplication8.FXMLDocumentController">
       <children>
          <BorderPane fx:id="rootStage" layoutX="14.0" layoutY="-14.0" prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="320.0" AnchorPane.bottomAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0">
             <left>
                <JFXButton buttonType="RAISED" 
                           onAction="#handleButtonAction"
                            text="Load Pane" BorderPane.alignment="CENTER" />
             </left>
          </BorderPane>
       </children>
    </AnchorPane>

I set a button to display specific pane to that Border Pane center area. 

<left>
   <JFXButton buttonType="RAISED" 
    onAction="#handleButtonAction"
    text="Load Pane" BorderPane.alignment="CENTER" />
</left>

This is my Controller class of that Border Pane contained class

package javafxapplication8;

    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.net.URL;
    import java.util.ResourceBundle;
    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
    import javafx.fxml.FXML;
    import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
    import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
    import javafx.scene.control.Label;
    import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;

    /**
     *
     * @author Anu
     */
    public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable {

        @FXML
        private BorderPane rootStage;

        @FXML
        private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
            System.out.println("Button Click");
            FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();  
            loader.setLocation(javafx.stage.Stage.class.getResource("FXML.fxml"));  

            BorderPane newScene = loader.load();  
            rootStage.setCenter(newScene);  
        }

        @Override
        public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
            // TODO
            System.out.println("FXMLDocumentController");
        }    

    }

And this is FXML file i want to display in Border Pane center area.

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
    <?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
    <?import javafx.scene.text.Font?>

    <AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.171" fx:controller="javafxapplication8.FXMLController">
       <children>
          <Label layoutX="252.0" layoutY="179.0" text="Label">
             <font>
                <Font size="41.0" />
             </font>
          </Label>
       </children>
    </AnchorPane>

But when i click Button That give me bunch of errors!

There are 2 reasons

javafx.stage.Stage.class.getResource("FXML.fxml")

returns null which is the cause for the exception:

  • Resources not starting with / are resolved relative to the class, i.e. the resource java is looking for in this case is /javafx/stage/FXML.fxml instead of the real location of your resouce
  • Stage for some reason seems to use a different classloader that cannot resolve resources located in the jar. Make sure to use a different class that is loaded by a classloader that has access to the jar, e.g. using FXMLDocumentController.class
loader.setLocation(FXMLDocumentController.class.getResource("/javafxapplication8/FXML.fxml"));

Note: You may need to use Clean and Build to get the new .class file to the jar.
