Issue
I am trying to send mail to respective user who upload file. I have one process.jsp page, in that user will enter mail id and when user click on send then mail will be sent as file is uploaded. I have written code for sending mail but it's giving error like There were an error: null. File is uploading into MySQL database successfully but mail is not sending.
This is my process.jsp page
<form action="SendMailAttachServlet" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="email" name="mailid" value="" required="" size="60" placeholder="Please enter your mail address" />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
<table>
<tr style="display:none">
<td>Subject </td>
<td><input type="text" name="subject" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr style="display:none">
<td>Content </td>
<td><textarea rows="10" cols="39" name="content"></textarea> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>Note:- I want only two fields i.e. one Textfield for mail id and another one for send button. I don't want Subject and Content fields
This is my EmailUtility.java page

)
throws AddressException, MessagingException {
// sets SMTP server properties

properties.put("mail.smtp.host", host);

// creates a new session with an authenticator

return new PasswordAuthentication(userName, password);
}
};
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, auth);
// creates a new e-mail message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(userName));
InternetAddress[] toAddresses = {
new InternetAddress(toAddress)
};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddresses);
// msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
// creates message part

multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// sets the multi-part as e-mail's content
msg.setContent(multipart);
// sends the e-mail
Transport.send(msg);
