Jstl setLocal in valid

Question

I have a project and need to support multiple language.
use Spring + JSTL to suppport it.
Spring configurations
<bean name="/test.do" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController">
          <property name="viewName" value="test"/>
     </bean>
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename"><value>messages</value></property>
</bean>
and there is also messages_de and messages_en under classes directory
And in test.jsp I have following statement.
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<fmt setLocale value="de"/>
Message:     <fmt:message key="welcome"/>
I hope to get German for 'welcome', but it seems <fmt setLocal value="de"/> is invalid.
I also add a filter to set charset encoding to 'UTF-8'.
What's the problem here?
Please help!!

I don't know much about Spring, so I can't confirm that side of it.
The JSTL code looks ok as far as it goes. but I don't see you specifying a bundle for it to use anywhere.
Maybe you need a
<fmt:setBundle basename="messages"/> to point JSTL at the same message bundle as the Spring one?
