Not able to use Multi Catch from Java Effectively [duplicate]

Answer 1

To add on to Mureinik's solution:

If you would like to differentiate the error handling for each of the subclasses you could use instanceof within the catch block something like:

FileNotFoundException is subclass of IOException

catch (IOException e) {
            if (e instanceof FileNotFoundException)
            {
                System.out.println("FileNotFoundException");
            }
            else if(e instanceof IOException)
            {
                System.out.println("IOException");
            }

        }
