You have a few options, either return them in an array, or a Map or use another class to store the values and return that.

/** Use an array to return two value */

public int[] methodReturningTwoInts()
{
   int a = getA();
   int b = getB();
   return new int[] { a, b };
}

/** Use a Map to return two value */

public Map<String, Integer> methodReturningTwoInts()
{
   int a = getA();
   int b = getB();
   Map<String, Integer> result = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
   result.put("a", a);
   result.put("b", b);
   return result;
}

/** Use a object to return two values */

public MyBean methodReturningTwoValues()
{
   int a = getA();
   String b = getB();
   return new MyBean(a, b);
}
