How do I bind the Inputfield in the Visualforce page to the Apex Class without using an sObject (standard or custom)?

Hi nikhil,
You can simply use 
public string str{get; set;}

and use {!str} in the vf page

Hi Nikhil,

Unfortunately, you can only use sObjects or object with inputfield, you cannot even use wrapper class object with inputfield.
One of the way to resolve your issue is to use the tags which are compatible like <apex:inputText>, <apex:inputTextArea>, that will work.

Check out below code sample.
  
<apex:page controller="CustomController">
    <apex:form>
    	<apex:inputText value="{!contactName}"></apex:inputText>
        <apex:commandButton action="{!customMethod}" value="customMethod" id="customMethod"/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
  
public class CustomController {
    
    public String contactName {get;set;}
	
    public void customMethod() {
        system.debug(' == contactName == ' + contactName);
    }
}

Hope I am able to help,

Regards,
Puneet.

Nikhil ,

You can use the traditional way of inputting values without binding the variables.
