JavaFX 2.0 loading fxml files with event handlers fails

Question

i am trying to load a fxml from a subfolder, but it fails. I have the line that make the replace scene content:

private Parent replaceSceneContent(String fxml) throws Exception {
        Parent page = (Parent) FXMLLoader.load(App.class.getResource("skinFolder/fxml/"+fxml), null, new JavaFXBuilderFactory());
        Scene scene = stage.getScene();
        if (scene == null) {
            scene = new Scene(page, 700, 450);
            scene.getStylesheets().add(App.class.getResource("skinFolder/css/defaultSkin.css").toExternalForm());
            stage.setScene(scene);
        } else {
            stage.getScene().setRoot(page);
        }
        stage.sizeToScene();
        return page;
    }

I use this function in the next method:

private void gotoLogin() {
        try {
            replaceSceneContent("login.fxml");
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(App.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }

The problem is that i got the next errors:

javafx.fxml.LoadException: Method processLogin() does not have the correct signature for an event handler.

Anyone has any ideea what i need to fix so i can make this replace scene content to work?

If you are defining an action of Button in FXML file like this:

 <Button text="Login" onAction="#processLogin"/>

then you must define a method in the controller class like as following. Note the signature of processLogin:

    @FXML
    private void processLogin(javafx.event.ActionEvent event) {
        // Process Login
    }
