Is there a way to put the Schema in the same java object (like Document) as XML?

Is there a way in the XML APIs to make one Document object that has both the schema and XML in it? Can i then get the XML elements'/attributes' metadata from that object instead of having to do the usual two steps:

* Get schemaTypeInfo
* using schemaTypeInfo (name, namespace) look it up in schema object

In case anyone's interested, i solved this in Xerces. Simply get the domConfiguration and pass the following parameter:

config.setParameter( 
     "http://apache.org/xml/properties/dom/document-class-name", 
     "org.apache.xerces.dom.PSVIDocumentImpl"
);

Then you get an Element from the document root and do the following cast:

XSElementDeclaration elementMetaData = ( ( ElementPSVI ) element ).getElementDeclaration();

From there you're using schema stuff!
