PALIN- The next Palindrome - a SPOJ problem

I have opened an account for Ridit, one of 7-years-old students learning Java at SPOJ. The first task i gave to him was PALIN -The Next Palindrome. Here is the link to this problem- PALIN- The next Palindrome- SPOJAfter i explained it to him, he was able to solve it mostly except removing the leading zeros, which i did. Following is his solution of the problem -
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int t = Integer.parseInt(in.nextLine());
String[] numbersInString = new String[t];
for (int i = 0; i <t; i++) {
String str = in.nextLine();
numbersInString[i] = removeLeadingZeros(str);
}
for (int i = 0 ; i<t; i++) {
int K = Integer.parseInt(numbersInString[i]);
int answer = findTheNextPalindrome(K);
System.out.println(answer);
}
}catch(Exception e) {
return;
}
}
static boolean isPalindrome(int x) {
String str = Integer.toString(x);
int length = str.length();
StringBuffer strBuff = new StringBuffer();
for(int i = length - 1;i>=0;i--) {
char ch = str.charAt(i);
strBuff.append(ch);
}
String str1 = strBuff.toString();
if(str.equals(str1)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
static int findTheNextPalindrome(int K) {
for(int i = K+1;i<9999999; i++) {
if(isPalindrome(i) == true) {
return i;
}
}
return -1;
}
static String removeLeadingZeros(String str) {
String retString = str;
if(str.charAt(0) != '0') {
return retString;
}
return removeLeadingZeros(str.substring(1));
}
}
It is giving correct answer in Eclipse on his computer, but it is failing in SPOJ. If someone helps this little boy in his first submission, it will definitely make him very happy. I couldn't find any problem with this solution... Thank you in advance...

Java program using union-find + treemap too slow

I am solving this challenge: https://open.kattis.com/problems/virtualfriends
My solution seems to be working but kattis's test cases are running too slowly so I was wondering how I can improve code efficiency. I am using a custom made union-find structure to do this, storing "friends" into a treemap to reference.
import java.util.*;
public class virtualfriends {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int testcases = scan.nextInt();
scan.nextLine();
for (int i= 0; i < testcases; i++) {
int numFriendships = scan.nextInt();
scan.nextLine();
TreeMap<String , Integer> map = new TreeMap<String , Integer>();
int cnt = 0;
UF unionFind = new UF(50000);
for (int j = 0; j < numFriendships; j++)
{
String p1 = scan.next();
String p2 = scan.next();
if (!map.containsKey(p1)) map.put(p1, cnt++);
if (!map.containsKey(p2)) map.put(p2, cnt++);
unionFind.unify(map.get(p1), map.get(p2));
System.out.printf("%d\n", unionFind.getSetSize(map.get(p2)));
}
}
}
static class UF{
private int[] id, setSize;
private int numSets;
public UF(int size) {
id = new int[size] ;
setSize = new int[size];
numSets = size;
for(int i = 0 ; i < size ; ++i) {
id[i] = i;
setSize[i] = 1;
}
}
int find(int i )
{
int root = i;
while (root != id[root]) {
root = id[root];
}
while (i != root) {
int newp = id[i];
id[i] = root;
i = newp;
}
return root;
}
boolean isConnected(int i , int j) {
return find(i) == find(j);
}
int getNumSets() {
return numSets;
}
int getSetSize(int i) {
return setSize[find(i)];
}
boolean isSameSet(int i, int j) {
return find(i) == find(j);
}
void unify(int i, int j)
{
int root1 = find(i);
int root2 = find(j);
if (root1 == root2) return;
if (setSize[root1] < setSize[root2])
{
setSize[root2] += setSize[root1];
id[root1] = root2;

setSize[root1] += setSize[root2];
id[root2] = root1;
}

Error in String/character uppercase/lowercase conversion with loop

I have been doing an assignment, and I'm stuck. If I enter the letters: ahb, it prints only the last letter b not the whole thing:
public void run()
{
String value;
while (true) {
try {
value = (String) conB.remove();
if(value != null) { {
for(int i=0; i < value.length(); i++) {
if(Character.isDigit(value.charAt(i))) {
int x = Integer.parseInt(value);
bConWin.setData(" "+(x*2));
}
if(Character.isLowerCase(value.charAt(i))) {
char x = value.toUpperCase().charAt(i);
//changed.append(Character.toUpperCase(x));
bConWin.setData(" " +x);
}
if(Character.isUpperCase(value.charAt(i))) {
char x = value.toLowerCase().charAt(i);
bConWin.setData(" "+x);
}
}
}
}
}
}

You are only ever assigning one character as bConWin's data. Here's a fix as well as some tidying:
public static void main(String args[]) {
String value = "HaaaOppSaN";
if(value != null) {
StringBuilder newValue = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 0; i < value.length(); i++) {
char x = value.charAt(i);
if(Character.isLowerCase(x)) {
x = Character.toUpperCase(x);
} else {
x = Character.toLowerCase(x);
}
newValue.append("" + x);
}
bConWin.setData(newValue.toString());
}
}

The outer endless loop is not needed. The try without a catch block as well.
Take a look at this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
String switched = switchCharacterCase("Hello World!");
bConWin.setData(switched);
System.out.println(switched);
}
public static String switchCharacterCase(final String input) {
StringBuilder switched = new StringBuilder();
if(input != null) { // nothing to do here, return switched
for(int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++) {
Character c = input.charAt(i);
if(Character.isLowerCase(c)) {
c = Character.toUpperCase(c);
} else {
c = Character.toLowerCase(c);
}
switched.append(c);
}
}
return switched.toString();
}

Java won't stop reading from input

Java won't stop reading from input.
I understand that maybe this while loop might have something to do with it:
while(input.hasMoreTokens());
{
array1[counter] = input.nextToken();
counter++;
}
But I don't see why the loop should be a problem because I am already calling .nextToken() which should advance the token.
Here's the full source code:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class HelloWorld
{
static String ReadLn (int maxLg) // utility function to read from stdin
{
byte lin[] = new byte [maxLg];
int lg = 0, car = -1;
String line = "";
try
{
while (lg < maxLg)
{
car = System.in.read();
if ((car < 0) || (car == '\n')) break;
lin [lg++] += car;
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
return (null);
}
if ((car < 0) && (lg == 0)) return (null); // eof
return (new String (lin, 0, lg));
}
public static void main (String args[]) // entry point from OS
{
HelloWorld myWork = new HelloWorld(); // create a dinamic instance
myWork.Begin(); // the true entry point
}
void Begin()
{
String idata;
StringTokenizer input;
while ((idata = HelloWorld.ReadLn (255)) != null)
{
input = new StringTokenizer (idata);
String[] array1 = {};
int counter = 0;
while(input.hasMoreTokens());
{
array1[counter] = input.nextToken();
counter++;
}
int[] array2 = {};
for(int a = 0; a < array1.length; a++)
{
array2[a] = Integer.parseInt(array1[a]);
}
int[] array3 = {};
for(int b = 0; b < array2.length; b++)
{
if ( array2[b] != 42)
{
array3[b] = array2[b];
}
else
{
break;
}
}
String string = "";
for( int c = 0; c < array3.length; c++)
{
if( c < array3.length - 1)
{
string += array3[c] + "\n";
}
else
{
string += array3[c];
}
}
System.out.println(string);
}
}
}

You have a stray semicolon at the end of the while:
while(input.hasMoreTokens());

How to implement Karger's min cut algorithm in Java?
