Well, this is somewhat a Java question also. Each Java class has to have a classloader associated to it. The only way to get a Java class is to have a classloader that is able to find the .class representation of a class and load it.
What this means for XMLBeans is that you need to compile the Schemas to Java source (XmlBeans.compileXsd() or call "scomp" in a different process), then compile and jar that source and then create a classloader that has access to the freshly created .jar file. XmlBeans can't create classes without source .java files and .jar files. What I should also point out is that you will only be able to use such dynamically generated classes via reflection (since they don't exist when your code is compiled), so this is why most people prefer to use DOM or XmlCursor when dealing with Schemas that they only know about at runtime. The XML documents themselves will still be bound to a Schema, so you'll be able to do Schema validation on them and get the actual Schema types.
