A sub class probabaly has more properties then that of super class , then why I am able to catch all exceptions by making the object of Exception class insted of its sub classes (while handling any exception by try,catsh,finally statement)?

A derived class object can be assigned to any of the parent class object.  In the same way any subclasses of Exception class can be caught by Exception e.  But the reverse is not true..  A parent class object cannot be assigned to a derived class object without explicit cast.

While a reference to the general Exception class can catch exceptions of its sub classes it cannot refer to the properties (members and methods ) unique to the sub class
