All that is possible in Flex is based on the Flash Players capabilities. Validation with XSD is not implemented in the player and thus not possible in Flex.
The flash player only has most basic features available, as u know its only possible to dynamicly load one type of image, sound and movie. This is don't in order to keep the player itself small. I guess the same reason has made that XSD didn't make it into the player.

Furthermore, the use of XSD's for data objects allows the proliferation of many standard value objects to be used across a myriad of applications with the ability of those applciations to validate the data they are sending, thus ensuring ease of communication across disparate systems. With the above 2 said, that is my guess as to why someone would expect Flex to validate the XML via the XSD before sending; that way you can ensure the data you are sending back to Java is valid ... in form, not in contents. So, if the number is 0-0-0-0-0 instead of 000-000-0000, that is a data input validation error, but at least the data is well formed. Does that make sense? I'm not saying I agree with using an XSD vs. just straight RemoteObject and mapping both server-side and client side value object classes to match as close as possible, and through testing you are ensured that the data works since you mirrored the Java class client side in a value object, but your thoughts do help me understand the "why" someone would want to do it; I'm trying to build up a decent inference here.
