[FIXED] Connecting SQL Server with Java (javafx)

Issue

I have the setup below for the connection SQL Server with Java. Am also using javafx. I am very new to developing with Java. Note: I added the sqljdbc driver. I don't want to add main to DBConnection because am using the Connection method in the controller. Is there a way to fix this or how can I add main method without changing the connection method? Am getting error message:

Error Message

Error: Main method not found in class application.ConnectionDB, please define the main method as:
 public static void main(String[] args)
or a JavaFX application class must extend javafx.application.Application

Connection Class

package application;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;


public class ConnectionDB
    {


 public static Connection dbConn() {
     Connection conn = null;
    try {
            Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
        String url = "jdbc:sqlserver:[server name];database=SalesManager;user=[username];password=[password];encrypt=true;trustServerCert ificate=false;hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;loginTimeout=30";
         conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
    }
     catch (ClassNotFoundException | SQLException ex) {
          Logger.getLogger(ConnectionDB.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,null,ex);

    }
    return conn;
}
 }

Controller

 package application;

 import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
 import javafx.fxml.FXML;


 import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
 import java.sql.Connection;
 import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
 import java.sql.SQLException;
 import java.util.ResourceBundle;
 import javax.print.DocFlavor.URL;

 public class MainController  {
@FXML
public TextField txtdate;
@FXML
public TextField txtcurvalue;
@FXML
public TextField txtsalesvalue;
@FXML
public TextField txtsoldcost;

public Connection conn =null;
public PreparedStatement pat = null;

@FXML
public void Rmsubmit(ActionEvent actionEvent) {



    String sqla = "Insert into RimCalc(Date, Rim_Vale,Rim_Sales,Rim_Cost) Values (?,?,?,?)";
    String date = txtdate.getText();
    String rim_value = txtcurvalue.getText();
    String Rim_Sales = txtsalesvalue.getText();
    String rim_cost = txtsoldcost.getText();



    try {
        pat = conn.prepareStatement(sqla);
        pat.setString(1, date);
        pat.setString(2, rim_value);
        pat.setString(3, Rim_Sales);
        pat.setString(4, rim_cost);

        int i = pat.executeUpdate();
        if(i==1) {
            System.out.println("Insert Successfully");
        }
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }



}

public void initializer(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
    conn = application.ConnectionDB.dbConn();
}

}

Solution

Java programs require a main method as an entry point in order to run. The standard definition of a main method is like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  // First code of your program goes here
}

This main() method should include the code that starts your application and loads any interface elements for display.

A JavaFX application also needs to have a class that extends Application and override its start() method.

Here is a very quick and dirty example of one such class:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

class Main extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);   // Starts the JavaFX application and calls the start() method
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        // Here is where you'll initialize your views and such
    }
}

I would recommend taking a few Java and JavaFX tutorials to get a feel for some of the basics before attempting more complicated tasks like connecting to databases.
