Input Text only refers to fields?

I thought the Input Text object was for referencing class variables instead of object fields.
 
This code seems to work OK since Service__c.Name is a field in my custom object called Service:
 
<apex:inputText value="{!Service__c.Name}" id="ReplyTo_Address"/>
 
This one fails:
 
<apex:inputText value="{!emailToAddress}" id="emailToAddress"/>
 
I have created the appropriate getter method in the controller but when I try to save this page I get the error:
 
Error: Read only property 'ServiceControllerExtension.emailToAddress'
 
Here's the getter code from the controller extension:
 

public String getemailToAddress(){

emailToAddress = 'jbud@company.com';

return emailToAddress;

}

Any Ideas?

You also need  set method to set the value from the page to the controller. Using a property in the controller would be even easier. Then you wouldn't need a get or set method.

Code:
Set Method;

public String setemailToAddress(emailToAddress){
    this.emailToAddress = emailToAddress;
} 

Property:
public String emailToAddress {get; set;}

That property method is MUCH easier!  :smileyvery-happy: Thanks for your help!
