JavaFX FXML TableView error [SOLVED]

AD5XJ

I am very new working with FXML so this may be a newbie question and newbie mistake in my code.

I have a small project (at this point at least) where I wish to open a new window with a FXML defined format. When my menu action menu Database -> Entitiy Maintenance loads that fxml I get the following error:

ERROR MainController.actionEntityMaint 184: err loading EntityMaint.fxml err=java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "javafx.scene.control.TableView.setItems(javafx.collections.ObservableList)" because "this.tblEntityView" is null

Here is the relevant code:

jLoggerFX-src.tar.7z

The TableView is named correctly in the fxml and the fxml file is in the resources folder of my Maven project.

So far, I have been unable to detect the cause of this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Please excuse my inexperienced coding.
