Configure AWS Keys as follows on your properties file or AWS variables,

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID =
AWS_SECRET_KEY =

Configure Email Parameters,

FROM_EMAIL = noreply@aaaa.com
SMTP_USER = AAAA
SMTP_PASSWORD = AAAA
SMTP_HOST = email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
SMTP_PORT = 25

Configure servlet.xml as follows for the EmailUtil 

     <bean id="emailUtil" class="com.EmailUtil">

<constructor-arg value="${FROM_EMAIL}" />

<constructor-arg value="${SMTP_USER}" />

<constructor-arg value="${SMTP_PASSWORD}" />

<constructor-arg value="${SMTP_HOST}" />

<constructor-arg value="${SMTP_PORT}" />

<constructor-arg value="${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}" />

<constructor-arg value="${AWS_SECRET_KEY}" />

</bean>

The EmailUtil can be as follows,

import com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentials;

import com.amazonaws.auth.BasicAWSCredentials;

import com.amazonaws.regions.Region;

import com.amazonaws.regions.Regions;

import com.amazonaws.services.simpleemail.AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient;

import com.amazonaws.services.simpleemail.model.Body;

import com.amazonaws.services.simpleemail.model.Content;

import com.amazonaws.services.simpleemail.model.Destination;

import com.amazonaws.services.simpleemail.model.Message;

import com.amazonaws.services.simpleemail.model.SendEmailRequest;
