short hand catch

[Roedy Green]

Is there shorthand for this?

try {
try {
....
}
catch ( Exception1 e1 )
{
doSomething();
}
}
catch ( Exception2 e2 )
{
doSomething(); // same thing.
}

Is there shorthand for this?

try {
try {
...
}
catch ( Exception1 e1 )
{
doSomething();
}
}
catch ( Exception2 e2 )
{
doSomething(); // same thing.
}

I don't see why you need the two "try" statements. Isn't one followed by n
catches ok?

Two possibilities:

1) Try clause may have more than one catch clause:

try {
...
} catch (Exception1 e1) {
doSomething();
} catch (Exception2 e2) {
doSomething();
}

2) Catch the parent type for the two exceptions:

try {
...
} catch (Exception e) {
doSomething();
}
