I want to connect Database on button action in a javafx scene

Question

I want to connect to database on button action method but I am having InvocationTargetException exception, I am new in java and got stuck here, Please look at the code I wrote. (sorry for this bad post I don't usually ask questions on the internet)

public class LoginController {
public static String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/world";
@FXML private static TextField txtfld;
@FXML private static PasswordField pwfld;
@FXML private Label connectionLabel;
@FXML private Button   btn1;

@FXML
public void btnOnAction(ActionEvent event) throws IOException{
Connection conn= null;
Statement stmt = null;

try{
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    System.out.println("Connecting to database");

    Connection connection  = DriverManager.getConnection(url,txtfld.getText(),pwfld.getText());

   System.out.println("Creating ");

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
};}

Here is FXML code.

<AnchorPane fx:id="background" maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="345.0" prefWidth="330.0" styleClass="background" stylesheets="@dsadas.css" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.40" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="sample.LoginController">
<children>
<TextField fx:id="txtfld" layoutX="91.0" layoutY="111.0" promptText="Username" AnchorPane.topAnchor="111.0" />
<PasswordField fx:id="pwfld" layoutX="91.0" layoutY="148.0" promptText="Password" />
<Button fx:id="btn1" layoutX="91.0" layoutY="195.0" mnemonicParsing="false" onAction="#btnOnAction" prefHeight="25.0" prefWidth="149.0" styleClass="btn1" text="Login" />
<Label fx:id="lbl2" layoutX="133.0" layoutY="57.0" text="Please login" textFill="#9382ff">
<font>
<Font size="11.0" />
</font>
</Label>
<Label layoutX="112.0" layoutY="22.0" text="Welcome" textFill="#5d8cf0">
<font>
<Font size="24.0" />
</font>
</Label>
<Label fx:id="connectionLabel" layoutX="148.0" layoutY="81.0" textFill="#e13434" />
</children>
<opaqueInsets>
<Insets bottom="2.0" left="2.0" right="2.0" top="2.0" />
</opaqueInsets>
</AnchorPane>

and here is exception

It is already in the classpath, as i can run sample jdbc programs from it but thanks for you suggestion. — naqi, Dec 03 '15 at 17:11
The stack trace explicitly states it is not in the classpath when you run this application though. — James_D, Dec 03 '15 at 17:13
I dont know what happened, but when i removed it and added again it worked, thank you. but still I am having another exception.

[edit] your question to include the full stack trace. That snippet does not even include the cause. — James_D, Dec 03 '15 at 17:46
@naqi Your question still doesn't have the full stack trace. There must be a reason for `java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException`, please include it. — ItachiUchiha, Dec 03 '15 at 18:40

thanks for your answer and database is connected but I am having another exception now please loo at the edited question. – naqi Dec 03 '15 at 17:59
edit your question to include full stack trace (with exception cause). – andrucz Dec 03 '15 at 18:33
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at sample.LoginController.btnOnAction(LoginController.java:40): this is the root cause of your problem now. Check what object is null when executing line 40. – andrucz Dec 06 '15 at 17:21
