Description:
The JDBC driver throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when PreparedStatement.setString() is called with a String containing Unicode char 0xFFFF.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 65535
        at com.mysql.jdbc.SingleByteCharsetConverter.toBytes(SingleByteCharsetConverter.java:160)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.StringUtils.getBytes(StringUtils.java:88)
        at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.setString(PreparedStatement.java:1053)
        at Arr.main(Arr.java:9)

This happens with Connector/J 3.0.6 and 3.0.7

How to repeat:
Run this sample program, changing the connection URL/login info:

import java.sql.*;
public class Arr {
	public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
		Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
		Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://XXXX:3306/XXX", "XXX", "XXX"); 
		PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT ?");
		stmt.setString(1, "hello \uFFFF");
	}
}

Suggested fix:
The private arrays charToByteMap and unknownCharsMap in com.mysql.jdbc.SingleByteCharsetConverter need to be declared with 65536 bytes:

line 40:
    private static byte[] unknownCharsMap = new byte[65536];

line 56:
    private byte[] charToByteMap = new byte[65536];
