How to resolve javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedExce

I am doing a sendMail Servlet with JavaMail. I have javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException on my output. Can anyone please help me out? Thanks.

sendMailServlet code:

try {
        String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        String from = "my@gmail.com";
        String pass = "pass";
        Properties props = System.getProperties();
        props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
        props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
        props.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
        props.put("mail.smtp.password", pass);
        props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
        props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
        props.put("mail.debug", "true");

        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
        MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
        Address fromAddress = new InternetAddress(from);
        Address toAddress = new InternetAddress("test1@gmail.com");

        message.setFrom(fromAddress);
        message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);

        message.setSubject("Testing JavaMail");
        message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
        Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
        transport.connect(host, from, pass);
        message.saveChanges();
        Transport.send(message);
        transport.close();

    }catch(Exception ex){

        out.println("<html><head></head><body>");
        out.println("ERROR: " + ex);
        out.println("</body></html>");
    }

Output on GlassFish 2.1:

The problem is, you are creating a transport object and using it's connect method to authenticate yourself. But then you use a static method to send the message which ignores authentication done by the object.

So, you should either use the sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients()) method on the object or use an authenticator as suggested by others to get authorize through the session.

Here's the Java Mail FAQ, you need to read.

Just wanted to share with you:
I happened to get this error after changing Digital Ocean machine (IP address). Apparently Gmail recognized it as a hacking attack. After following their directions, and approving the new IP address the code is back and running.

You need to implement a custom Authenticator

import javax.mail.Authenticator;
import javax.mail.PasswordAuthentication;


class GMailAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
     String user;
     String pw;
     public GMailAuthenticator (String username, String password)
     {
        super();
        this.user = username;
        this.pw = password;
     }
    public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
    {
       return new PasswordAuthentication(user, pw);
    }
}

Now use it in the Session

Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new GMailAuthenticator(username, password));

I was missing this authenticator object argument in the below line

Session session = Session.getInstance(props, new GMailAuthenticator(username, password));

This line solved my problem now I can send mail through my Java application. Rest of the code is simple just like above.
