How to display error message in my JSP page using spring security 2.0

Question

Hi I am now using spring security. It works fine. But if login failed, no error message display. I am wondering how can I display error message?

I have configured the ResourceBundleMessageSource in my applicationContext.xml

<!-- Spring security error message config -->
    <bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
        <property name="basenames">
             <list>
                  <value>messages</value>
             </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

And my security-config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:David="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"

Any suggestions? Any help will be appreciated.

<c:if test="${not empty param.login_error}">
    <div class="error">
        Your login attempt was not successful, try again.<br />
        Reason: #{sessionScope.SPRING_SECURITY_LAST_EXCEPTION.message}
    </div>
</c:if>
