how to conditionally show jsp content to logged in users with Spring security

I want to show content to any user that is logged in and to hide if they are not logged in. I'm using jsp's and spring security.

Obviously a home grown solution is easily done. But what's the cleanest standard way of achieving this?

Spring security tags don't seem to have nice way that will allow for the addition of new roles in the future.

java spring jsp spring-security

How about:

<%@ taglib uri="http://acegisecurity.org/authz" prefix="authz" %>

<c:set var="authenticated" value="${false}"/>
<authz:authorize ifAllGranted="ROLE_USER">
    <c:set var="authenticated" value="${true}"/>
</authz:authorize>

<c:if test="${authenticated}">
<!-- your secure content here -->
</c:if>
