How to add as many instances of a Pane defined in a separate fxml file as there are entries in a HashMap into a ScrollPane?

The Pane (pane - fxml: deadline-example.fxml) has elements (Labels & a pie chart) that are set based on a specific instance of the Deadline class. I also have another scene (deadline-menu.fxml) that contains a ScrollPane. The idea is that there is a hashmap (DLList) containing X elements of the Deadline class along with its id. The solution logic that I am envisioning is:

have a for-each loop iterate over each element of DLList -> use the attribute of the particular Deadline instance to set the labels of pane -> store the pane in a data structure -> display the instances in the ScrollPane of deadline-menu.fxml using the data structure

The key here is that the number of Deadline instances in DLList is variable, so I can't predefine a number of Panes for use. My initial idea is to define each Pane and store the pane into a separate hashmap (DLPaneList), and then pass it back to DLMenuController.java to finally display its contents onto the ScrollPane and that has failed. I want to know the issues with my approach, as well as another approach that I can use. Thanks.

The basic structure here is to define your DeadlineController class with a

setDeadline(Deadline deadline) { ... }

method, which takes the Deadline instance to be displayed. Anything that depends on the deadline needs to be done as a result of calling that method, and not before. See Passing Parameters JavaFX FXML for more details.

In your code, you have a passPath(String path) method that sets the path (not exactly sure what that is doing). However you have

Deadline dl = new Deadline(path);

as an instance variable, which will be called before there is a chance to call passPath(...). The path variable will be null at that point, and so you get the null pointer exception.

Here is a greatly simplified, but complete, application that demonstrates loading multiple copies of an FXML file with configurable values, dynamically depending on user input:

Deadline.java

package org.jamesd.examples.multiplepanes;

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class Deadline {
    private final String task;
    private final LocalDate dueDate;

    public String getTask() {
        return task;
    }

    public LocalDate getDueDate() {
        return dueDate;
    }

    public Deadline(String task, LocalDate dueDate) {
        this.task = task;
        this.dueDate = dueDate;
    }
}

DeadlineView.fxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.VBox?>
<VBox xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx"
      xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml"
      fx:controller="org.jamesd.examples.multiplepanes.DeadlineController"
      styleClass="deadline"
      spacing="5">
    <padding><Insets topRightBottomLeft="20"></Insets></padding>
    <Label fx:id="taskLabel"/>
    <Label fx:id="dueDateLabel"/>
</VBox>

DeadlineController.java

package org.jamesd.examples.multiplepanes;

import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;

import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class DeadlineController {

    @FXML
    private Label taskLabel;
    @FXML
    private Label dueDateLabel;

    private final DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MMMM YYYY");

    private Deadline deadline ;
    public void setDeadline(Deadline deadline) {
        this.deadline = deadline;
        taskLabel.setText(deadline.getTask());
        dueDateLabel.setText(formatter.format(deadline.getDueDate()));
    }
    public Deadline getDeadline() {
        return deadline;
    }
}

Menu.fxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Spinner?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.HBox?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.TilePane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.VBox?>
<BorderPane xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx"
            xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml"
            fx:controller="org.jamesd.examples.multiplepanes.MenuController"
            >

    <left>
        <VBox spacing="5">
            <padding><Insets topRightBottomLeft="10"/></padding>
            <HBox spacing="5">
                <Label text = "Number of deadlines:"/>
                <Spinner fx:id="numDeadlinesSpinner">

                </Spinner>
            </HBox>
            <Button text="Generate" onAction="#generateDeadlines"/>
        </VBox>
    </left>
    <center>
        <TilePane fx:id="deadlinePane"/>

    }

    public void generateDeadlines() throws IOException {
        deadlinePane.getChildren().clear();
        int numDeadlines = numDeadlinesSpinner.getValue();
        for (int i = 0 ; i < numDeadlines ; i++) {
            String task = "Task " + (i+1);
            LocalDate dueDate = LocalDate.now().plusDays(rng.nextInt(5));
            Deadline deadline = new Deadline(task, dueDate);

            FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(DeadlineController.class.getResource("DeadlineView.fxml"));
            Parent deadlineView = loader.load();
            DeadlineController deadlineController = loader.getController();
            deadlineController.setDeadline(deadline);
            deadlinePane.getChildren().add(deadlineView);
        }
    }
}

        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch();
    }
}
