java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

I get a NullPointerException when I run the following program. Please note that I'm using Hibernate.

I can't figure out how to fix the Null Pointer error. This is the error:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
    at wakiliproject.SampleController.setSettersLose(SampleController.java:22)

The KIWI_TABLE is created in the database by this class:

import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity(name = "KIWI_TABLE")
public class NewBeautifulKiwi implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private int KiwiId;
    private String Kiwi;

    public int getKiwiId() {
        return KiwiId;
    }

    public void setKiwiId(int KiwiId) {
        this.KiwiId = KiwiId;
    }

    public String getKiwi() {
        return Kiwi;
    }

    public void setKiwi(String Kiwi) {
        this.Kiwi = Kiwi;
    }
}

This is how I call the NewBeautifulKiwi to persist items into the table 'KIWI_TABLE': (partial extract of the class)

public class SampleController implements Initializable, ControlledScreen {

    @FXML
    TextField KIWITextField;

    @FXML
    public void setSettersLose () {
        NewBeautifulKiwi newBeautifulKiwi = new NewBeautifulKiwi();
        newBeautifulKiwi.setKiwi(KIWITextField.getText());

        SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(newBeautifulKiwi);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
    }
