java mail api : exception thrown saying java.lang.SecurityException: Access to default session denied

Question

when im trying to send a mail using java mail api in my web application , I'm getting this exception.

java.lang.SecurityException: Access to default session denied

the inputs are fron an html page. then it goes to a servlet which eventually calls a java class where the mail logic is written

Answer 1

This error text is associated with a call to Session.getDefaultInstance(props, authenticator) where the default instance already has a different authenticator set.

It should work better if you call Session.getInstance(props, authenticator) instead of Session.getDefaultInstance(props, authenticator) in your code.
