Java <= 6.x just allows you to catch one exception for each catch block:
try {
} catch (ExceptionType name) {
} catch (ExceptionType name) {
}
Documentation:
Each catch block is an exception handler and handles the type of
exception indicated by its argument. The argument type, ExceptionType,
declares the type of exception that the handler can handle and must be
the name of a class that inherits from the Throwable class.
For Java 7 you can have multiple Exception caught on one catch block:
catch (IOException|SQLException ex) {
logger.log(ex);
throw ex;
}
Documentation:
In Java SE 7 and later, a single catch block can handle more than one
type of exception. This feature can reduce code duplication and lessen
the temptation to catch an overly broad exception.
