I'm afraid not.
"SQLException.getErrorCode() always returns 0. The PostgreSQL
backend currently doesn't provide error codes. This issue is on
the TODO list (Admin: 'Allow elog() to return error codes').
Once it is fixed in the backend and the FE/BE protocol, it can
be fixed in the JDBC driver as well."
