I can see two options for reducing the amount of duplicate code:

1. Put the try-catch for IOException at a high enough level in the call
hierarchy, and wide enough scope, that it will catch all instances of
IOException for which you want the same handling.

2. Extract the handling for IOException into a method that can be called
from multiple catch blocks.

If neither of those ideas answers the actual question, please post an
example.
