unhandled exception type MessagingException when adding setFrom in javamail

Question

    MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("xyz@example.com"));
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("abcd@example.com"));

Getting error in last two lines that unhandled exception type MessagingException.

Eclipse suggests me to cover them with a try catch block.But when i tried to search in internet they are using these two statement without any try catch block. so i think i am doing something wrong. how to solve this?

Could you please check in the internet that they may be throws MessagingException instead of covering try catch block. — Subbu, Apr 09 '15 at 08:39

You have to possibilities to solve it.

Add a try-catch- block arround your code:

try { MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session); msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("xyz@example.com")); msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("abcd@example.com"));

} catch (MessagingException me){ // do something }
Add throws MessagingException to the method signature:

public void mymethod throws MessagingException { MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session); msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("xyz@example.com")); msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("abcd@example.com")); }
