JAVA: Creating a Document object with an XML Schema?

[Christopher Zanelli/NYT/NYTIMES]

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to create a structured Document
object, with empty values and attributes, in Java given just an XML schema.

I have tried using the org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.dom.DOMParser class,
because the Javadocs briefly state that this class creates a DOM object
using an XML Schema.  However my output is the same as my input, the schema
itself, not a Document with empty values and attributes.  Is there anyway
to programmatically create, not creating and appending all the nodes
myself, a Document that could be validated with this schema ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<xs:element name="shiporder">
 <xs:complexType>
  <xs:sequence>
   <xs:element name="orderperson" type="xs:string"/>
   <xs:element name="shipto">
    <xs:complexType>
     <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="address" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="country" type="xs:string"/>
     </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>
   <xs:element name="item" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xs:complexType>
     <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="note" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
      <xs:element name="quantity" type="xs:positiveInteger"/>
      <xs:element name="prize" type="xs:decimal"/>
     </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>
  </xs:sequence>
  <xs:attribute name="orderid" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
 </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Thanks,
Chris
