error while sending mail using javamail

Question

Here is my code for sending the mail

package com.markEffy.aggregator.util;
import com.sun.mail.util.MailSSLSocketFactory;

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.mail.Message;
 import javax.mail.MessagingException;
  import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;

 public class EmailAgent {

        private static final String SSL_FACTORY = "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory";
        private String emailMsgTxt;
        private String emailSubjectTxt;
        private String[] sendTo = {""};

        private int msgBodyType;

        public EmailAgent (String sendToAddr, int msgType) throws Exception {
            this.sendTo[0] = new String(sendToAddr);
            this.msgBodyType = msgType;
            }
        public EmailAgent (String sendToAddr, String emailMsgTxt, String emailSubjectTxt) throws Exception {
            this.sendTo[0] = new String(sendToAddr);
            this.emailMsgTxt = emailMsgTxt;
            this.emailSubjectTxt = emailSubjectTxt;
            }

        public EmailAgent(String[] recipients, int msgType) {
            // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
            this.sendTo = new String[recipients.length];
            for(int i=0;i<recipients.length;i++){
                this.sendTo[i]=recipients[i];
            }
            this.msgBodyType=msgType;

        }

        public  void sendMail() throws Exception {
            //System.out.println("inside send mail");

            MailSSLSocketFactory sf = new MailSSLSocketFactory();

            //Check if valid arguments are passed
            if ((this.sendTo == null)) {
                System.out.println ("Invalid arguments!");
                return;
            }

            int msgType = this.msgBodyType; 
            new EmailAgent(sendTo, msgType).sendSSLMessage(sendTo, emailSubjectTxt, emailMsgTxt,
                    emailFromAddress, sf);
            System.out.println("Sucessfully Sent mail to All Users");
        }

        public void sendSSLMessage(String recipients[], String subject,
                String message, String from , MailSSLSocketFactory sf) throws MessagingException {
            boolean debug = true;
            Properties props = new Properties();
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP_HOST_NAME);
            props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
            props.put("mail.debug", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.port", SMTP_PORT);
            props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", SMTP_PORT);
            props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", SSL_FACTORY);
            props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");

            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
                    new javax.mail.Authenticator() 
                     {
                         protected PasswordAuthentication                   

                      getPasswordAuthentication() {
                            return new

                        }
                    });

            session.setDebug(debug);

            Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
            InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
            msg.setFrom(addressFrom);

            InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
                addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
            }
            msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);

            // Setting the Subject and Content Type
            msg.setSubject(subject);
            msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");

            Transport.send(msg);
       }
}

I have added mail.jar and activation.jar in the lib folder of tomcat.I am using eclipse with tomcat 7,jre 7 and struts2.The following console error came while sending mail through Java:

Could you at a little bit more implementation and project setup for us. It is really difficult to see what's happening just out of this stacktrace. — mle, Mar 23 '15 at 11:03
Obviously there is a version mismatch of your com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport class. Can you say, which version of mail.jar you are using? — mle, Mar 23 '15 at 11:14
Ok, here it is javamail 1.5.2, working without problems... can you look through your classpath and verify that no other mail-implementations are present, so that we can eliminate version conflicts. — mle, Mar 23 '15 at 11:23
Sir in tomcat/lib i have no other mail-implementations. But in aggregator/web-content/web-inf/lib i have mailapi-1.5.2. Aggregator is my project name. Can u please suggest me what should I do? — user3681970, Mar 23 '15 at 11:31
So, I have just tested your code here, works perfectly with the following two mailing artifcats com.sun.mail:javax.mail:1.5.2 and javax.mail:javax.mail-api:1.5.2 Always keep the api-part and the implementation-part of your mailing artifacts in sync. So either change the mailapi-1.5.2 to mailapi-1.4.7 or update the javamail impl from 1.4.7 to 1.5.2. — mle, Mar 23 '15 at 11:35
Sir i checked oracle site but could not find the javamail impl 1.5.2. I am a beginner. Can u please give me the link from where can i download javamail impl 1.5.2 ? It will be of great help. — user3681970, Mar 23 '15 at 11:51
If you are using Maven, use this: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.mail/javax.mail/1.5.2 else you can download it manually here: https://java.net/projects/javamail/pages/Home#Download_JavaMail_1.5.2_Release — mle, Mar 23 '15 at 11:59
You should also fix all these [common mistakes](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/faq/index.html#commonmistakes) in your code. — Bill Shannon, Mar 23 '15 at 18:08

Read all of the answers in multiple versions of javamail jar causing NoSuchProviderException.

You can also modify your code to set the context class loader during send to fix this issue:

    Thread t =  Thread.currentThread();
    ClassLoader ccl = t.getContextClassLoader();
    t.setContextClassLoader(session.getClass().getClassLoader());
    try {
        Transport.send(msg);
    } finally {
        t.setContextClassLoader(ccl);
    }

You don't need both com.sun.mail:javax.mail and javax.mail:javax.mail-api. The former contains everything that's in the latter. – Bill Shannon Mar 23 '15 at 18:07
Yes Sir. I removed that jar.. Thanks! – user3681970 Mar 24 '15 at 06:27
