Dialogs are basically forms.When you submit a dialog, data in all the fields will be sent a post request to aem default servlet and from there it will be stored in nodes. This is very similar to the way a web form works, values in all the fields will be sent to the path specified in actions. Now here in place of action, you have the path to current node where data will be saved.When you open dialog, get request will be made to the current node all properties are fetched and shownon dialog.You can see those request when you look into browser network tabsThanks

Hi Praveen,Thanks a lot for your inputs here.In System console there is an entry "Apache Sling GET Servlet". Is that the default AEM servlet you are referring to?
