Hi, I'm pretty new to visualforce development.  I'm currently trying to create a page that will serve as an  update wizard for a parent and child custom object.  I'm getting the following error when trying to reference the child object (Petition__c) in the VF page.

 

Error: Could not resolve the entity from <apex:inputField> value binding '{!petition.Start_Date__c}'. <apex:inputField> can only be used with SObject fields.

 


So as it is I can get and update information from the "h2case" but not from the "petition".  I'll post my vf and controller code below.  

 

 

<apex:page controller="Testappnotcont">
    <apex:sectionHeader title="Approval Notice Received"/>
        <apex:form >
            <apex:pageBlock title="Update Member Information">
                <apex:pageblockButtons >
                    <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
                    <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>
                </apex:pageblockButtons>
