Yes, this can be done by Xerces 2.  See the XML Schema how-to page in its
documentation and the code snippet below. The extSchemaLocations string is
of the form
"namespace-uri-1 schema-1 ... namespace-uri-n schema-n "
(note that the schemas can be local copies of the 'definitive' ones on the
Web).

The org.apache.xerces.parsers.DomParser.parse() function takes an
org.xml.sax.InputSource.

Subject: RE:  xml validation


but is there not a parser out there that i can use that will do something
like:
Parser p = new Parser();
p.setSchemaLocation(schemaFile.xsd);
p.parse(xmlFile.xml);
