Trying to test to see if a user is logged in I am using the following code:

<%@ taglib prefix="sec" uri="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags" %>

<sec:authorize access="isAuthenticated()">
   YES, you are logged in!
</sec:authorize>

But I am getting the following erorr?

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No visible WebSecurityExpressionHandler instance could be found in the application context. There must be at least one in order to support expressions in JSP 'authorize' tags.

    To use expressions to secure individual URLs, you would first need to set the use-expressions attribute in the element to true

    <http use-expressions="true">
    See Spring Security doc
