Multiple different types of exception handling in one catch block?

Question

If Multiple exceptions are allowed in catch() then it will reduce amount of redundant error handling code. for example,

try{
// some statments 
}
catch(Type1Exception t1, Type2Exception t2, Type3Exception t3) {   // wish if this could be allowed
/* t1, t2, t3 are children of Exception and needs same error handling then why to have different catch blocks with same piece of code */
}

Answer 1

Yes - that's why it's supported in Java 7.

So your example would actually be:

try {
} catch (Type1Exception | Type2Exception | Type3Exception ex) {
   ...
}
