    Default Which of the subclasses of IOException are more probably to be thrown?

    I want throw (IOException) for this program. But I don’t know which of the subclasses of IOException are more likely to be thrown by this program. How should I identify?
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
     
    public class SimpleSpider
    {
    	ArrayList<String> set = new ArrayList<String>();
     
    	public void search(String host)
    	{
    		try
    		{
    			URL u = new URL(host);
     
    			set.add(host);
     
    			ArrayList<String> tags = Util.extractTags(u);
    			for (int i = 0; i < tags.size(); i++)
    			{
    				String nexthost = Util.extractURL(tags.get(i));
    				if (nexthost != null && !set.contains(nexthost))
    				{
    					System.out.println(nexthost);
    					search(nexthost);
    				}
    			}
    		}
    		catch (IOException e) {}
    	}
     
    	public static void main (String[] args)
    	{
    		SimpleSpider spider = new SimpleSpider();
    		spider.search("http://en.origami-club.com/");
    	}
    }

    don’t know which of the subclasses of IOException are more likely to be thrown by this program
    Read the API doc for each of the classes inside the try{}catch() block to see what they can throw.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I read the API. I think the most likely to be thrown is : EOFException, InterruptedIOException, UnknownHostException, MalformedURLException... Is there other Exception that is very likely to occur?

    The only one's I expect would be those thrown by the classes and methods used. Those would be listed in the API doc.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
