Null pointer exception on Initialize second controller class from first controller class

Question

I am trying to access initialize method of another calss from a different class.But I am getting nullpointer Exception while returning ctroller

THis is the code I am trying to call from my second calss.

    Line1-        FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/src/myjavfxapp/controller/EditClientDetails.fxml"));
    Line 2-        EditClientDetailsController fooController = (EditClientDetailsController) fxmlLoader.getController();
      Line3-       fooController.initialize(null, null);

I am getting null pointer exception at line number 3.

My Intention is to initialize the "EditClientDetails.fxml" fields from different controller class.

Please point out if i missed anything.

instead of fooController.initialize(null, null); fxmlloader.load(); — Magcus

Try the below example it working fine, you have to use load() function of FxmlLoader class.

public class Xxx extends Application {

  @Override
  public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {

    //Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Sample.fxml"));     
    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("Sample.fxml"));
    Parent root = (Parent)loader.load();          
    Scene scene = new Scene(root);        
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();

    SampleController controller = (SampleController)loader.getController();

  }

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