Yes, you can load the XMLSchema file externally, using external-schemalocation property (look for the exact property name), if you are using JAXP or Xerces. But, you need to know the exact location of the XMLSchema file. If the schema is in some jar, which is in the classpath, you can try using - 
jar:/file:///home/..../abc.jar!/myschemas/myschema.xsd

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Rahul.
