I have created a page and selected the default Form Template.

In the form component I dragged two fields username and Password and Submit button too.
When I see page source <form action="abc.html"> the action points to itself, I am not getting away to configure this "action" attribute. I want the to do is, send the data  to my own Custom Servlet or too a JSP component that I have created. 
how do I do this ... please help !!

I have uploaded the snip.. when I view source the action always points to itself... I want to to change it and make it point to my Custom Servlet!!!

    You can extend the form component or create your own form component. Once you either build your own or extend the existing one  - you can use JavaScript and AJAX to send data to an AEM Sling Servlet. To give you an idea of how to use AJAX to send form data to a sling servlet -- see:

      I created a Custom Form Action and submitted data to a SlingServlet. It works fine now!!!
