<title>-
A tag that allows you to manipulate the contents and behaviour of the title bar of forms in which the view is included.
<script>-
Embeds java code that is executed inside the view in the current context.
<import>-
Allows you to include java import statements to add classes and packages to the view’s namespace.
<use-taglib>-
