If all you want, is to be able to perform different actions depending on the
error caught, then just use a try/catch block, with multiple catch's...
for example:
try{ //some code expected to create error }
catch (ExcpetionTypeA e) { //code performed on this type of exception }
catch (ExcpetionTypeB e){ //code performed on this type of exception }
catch(Exception e){ //code performed if is something else }

One thing to remember is to order the exceptions from most specific, to
least specific.
