Use Exception class argument in catch

Posted by Kishori Sharan on July 18, 2001 at 10:09 AM

You must be inheriting all your three exceptions classes from Exception class. So, in catch just pass an argument of type Exception and not of one of three types you have created and this will catch any of your three types of exceptions.

try {
}
catch ( Exception e ) {
// If you want to take action based on which type
// of exception ( out of 3) was caught then check the
// type of argument e here
}
