import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;


public class Mails extends HttpServlet
{

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
printwriter out=response.getwriter();
response.setcontenttype("text/html");
{
String d_email = "immigration@gmail.com";
String d_password = "mitsproject";
String d_host = "smtp.gmail.com";
String d_port = "465";
String[] m_to={"raghu9198@gmail.com"};
String m_subject = "Testing";
String m_text = "Hey, this is the testing email using smtp.gmail.com.";

public synchronized static boolean sendMail(String userName,String passWord,String host,String port,String starttls,String auth,boolean debug,String socketFactoryClass,String fallback,String[] to,String[] cc,String[] bcc,String subject,String text)
{
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.user", userName);
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
if(!"".equals(port))
{
props.put("mail.smtp.port", port);
}
if(!"".equals(starttls))
{
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable",starttls);
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", auth);
}
if(debug)
{
props.put("mail.smtp.debug", "true");
}

{
props.put("mail.smtp.debug", "false");
}

if(!"".equals(port))
{
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", port);
}
if(!"".equals(socketFactoryClass))
{
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",socketFa ctoryClass);
}

if(!"".equals(fallback))
{
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", fallback);
}

try
{
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
session.setDebug(debug);
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setText(text);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("immigrationportal@gmail.com"));
for(int i=0;i<to.length;i++)
{
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to[i]));
}
for(int i=0;i<cc.length;i++)
{
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC, new InternetAddress(cc[i]));
}
for(int i=0;i<bcc.length;i++)
{
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress(bcc[i]));
}
msg.saveChanges();

Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");

transport.connect(host, userName, passWord);

transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
return true;
}
catch (Exception mex)
{
mex.printStackTrace();
return false;
}

}

It looks like your doPost() method brackets "{}" are not correct. Please check that the closing bracket is in the correct place.

Why do you need a brace here:

response.setcontenttype("text/html");
{

You can keep the sendMail() outside the doPost().
