JavaMail, servlet error

[malik ge]

Hi, I have tried to send mail through a java file. It worked fine.
but, when I try to copy the same code to my servlet it gave errors, from line 29 to 36 that "@Override method does not override or implement a method from a super-type"

any help...

Servlet code:

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

public class EmailServlet extends HttpServlet
{

   public void sendEmail()
   {
       try
      {
          Properties props = new Properties();
          props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
          props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
	      props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class","javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
	      props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
	      props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
          
          Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,new javax.mail.Authenticator()
        {
            @Override
            protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
            {
                return new PasswordAuthentication("gmailUserName","password");
            }
        } );
          
          Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
          message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[e-mail]"));
	      message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,InternetAddress.parse("[e-mail]"));
          
           message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
           message.setText("Hello, this is a message...!");
           Transport.send(message);
          
          System.out.println("Message sent");
      }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
         System.out.println("Failed to send email: " + e);
      }
   }

   @Override
   public void doPost(HttpServletRequest  request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
   {
     
      sendEmail();
      response.setContentType("text/html");
      PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

      out.println("Email sent");
   }

}

Both JSE and JEE each have a class called PasswordAuthentication - you're importing the wrong one.
