Is it possible for a custom tag to generate content that is JSP code instead
of html?

I am writing a custom tag where the output needs to be a line similar to the
following:
<%@ include file="myfile.jsp" %>

I can't include this line in the body of my tag because the file name is
produced by the doStartTag method.
Obviously if my doStartTag method includes the line
out.println("<%@ include file="myfile.jsp" %>");
This line is never processed, it is included as it is in the final html
file.
Is there something I can do to get the line processed?

The only way round this problem I can think of is to return the name of the
file to the JSP using a TEI class and then put my include line after the
tag, but it would be much neater if I could get the tag to do this.

Thanks,
Catharine
