Hi Ross, As documented [1], the value specified for the "external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation" property can only be a java.lang.String. Xerces supports many other methods for specifying a schema. Some of them support construction from an InputStream, specifically the Valdation API and schemaSource property provided by JAXP [2].
Thanks.
