Question

thank you for your reply.

Answer 1

If you want to use a Custom Controller and you still need to use the standard controller functions you can use a Controller Extension.

Change your Header to like this:

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" extensions="controllerTest">

You would also need to modify your controller to handle the Opportunity. Like this:

private final Opportunity oppt;

// The extension constructor initializes the private member
// variable oppt by using the getRecord method from the standard
// controller.
public controllerTest(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
    this.oppt = (Opportunity)stdController.getRecord();
}

This gives you the best of both worlds. Allows you to use the standard controller while still being able to write custom methods if needed.
