Description:
SQLXML parameter binding does not work if source is a String.

How to repeat:
Create any prepared statement over JDBC that takes an XML data type.
SQLXML sqlxml = connection.createSQLXML();
sqlxml.setString(stringifiedDocument); //on the SQLXML object.
statement.setSQLXML(index, sqlxml);
crash and burn.

Suggested fix:
Inside MysqlSQLXML.serializeAsCharacterStream remove the workingWithResult check.
The null-checks are sufficient for each possible input type.

Hello Yordan Gigov,

Thank you for the bug report.
Could you please provide repeatable test case (exact steps, sample test case, full stack trace  etc. - please make it as private if you prefer) to confirm this issue at our end?

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

Test case

Attachment: jdbc-test.zip (application/zip, text), 10.46 KiB.

Added test case. Change pom.xml dependency version to 6.0.5 to confirm for 6.0 branch.

Change line 25 of the test to `xml.setCharacterStream().write(elementString);` and it works. Direct string source is the one it doesn't handle correctly.
