Your code is looking for servlet init parameter smtpServer.

I put:
      <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="mail.iskon.hr" />
inside
     </Host>
   </Engine>


And you're setting something completely else. Please do set the
servlet init parameter smtpServer (this setting goes in web.xml).

So if I understand correctly I need to put

      <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="mail.iskon.hr" />


into web.xml (of web application)

and
 <Resource name="mail/testMail"
        auth="Container"
        type="javax.mail.Session"
        mail.smtp.host="mail.iskon.hr"
        mail.smtp.port="25"
        mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
        mail.smtp.auth="true"
        mail.smtp.user="login"
        password="password"/>

into server.xml

I did, but still have:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396)
    SendMailServlet.doPost(SendMailServlet.java:40)
    javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:709)
