    } catch (Exception ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(RecController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null,ex);
    }
}

Answer 1

Just create a single Stage and when you want to replace the content of the stage with a new fxml, load the new fxml into a new Scene and call stage.setScene.

It's a theater metaphor - imagine you are watching a play - it's Romeo and Juliet, the curtain raises and you see the first scene (a plaza in Verona with a fountain). Later on, the curtain lowers, little men run around and change stuff, the curtain rises and you see a new scene (the balcony to Juliet's bedroom). The scene has changed, but the stage has not - there is just one stage and multiple scenes.
