Custom tags is it possible?

Question

Hi,
I wrote a custom tag like <MLC:I18N key="SSFS_SS" />
Can i use it like as follows
1>
<%
String = <MLC:I18N key="SSFS_SS" />;
or
out.println(<MLC:I18N key="SSFS_SS" />);
%>
2)
<input type="button" value="<MLC:I18N key="SSFS_SS" />" >
Please let me know about this ASAP. I would appreciate if i can get some good explanation.
Thanks
bano

1) No I don't you ca use it like that, not in the scriplet tags but you can easilty have a taglib that outputs a string onto the rendered JSP the equivalent of out.println("A String") just <mytag:hello/>
public class HelloTag extends TagSupport {
public int doStartTag() throws JspException {
try {
pageContext.getOut().print("Hello World!");
} catch(Exception ex) {
throw new JspException(ex);
return SKIP_BODY;
2)Yep this is ok
