Exception sending email from tomcat

I am getting weird behaviour when trying to send an email from javamail from tomcat. The first time I try to send the email it works. On the second attempt I get an exception, and it keeps on throwing this exception until I restart tomcat , and so the cycle continues.

I am using tomcat 7 , I have placed the mail.jar in TOMCAT_HOME/lib

Tomcat configuration : TOMCAT_HOME/conf/context.xml

  <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
            type="javax.mail.Session" 
         mail.smtp.host="smtp.gmail.com"
        username="*****@gmail.com"
        password="*******"
        mail.debug="true"
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class="javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"
        mail.user="*****@gmail.com"
        mail.transport.protocol="smtp" 
        mail.smtp.auth= "true"
        mail.smtp.port= "465"
        description="Global E-Mail Resource"/>

web.xml configurion :

    <resource-ref>
            <description>mail </description>
        <res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>
        <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
        <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
        <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
    </resource-ref>

java code :

        Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
        Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
        Session session = (Session) envCtx.lookup("mail/Session");

        Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromParam));
        message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
        message.setSubject(subjectParam);
        message.setContent(mimeMultipart);
        Transport.send(message);
        System.out.println("Done");

Exception :
