You can put any URI you want into the location attribute on import or include, and resolve it from schemas held in strings or relational databases or resources in a jar file or anything else, if you provide an EntityResolver to the parser. See DocumentBuilder.setEntityResolver().
You can also use set a property on the parser to specify a set of schema locations. The property is http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation and its value is a string containing an alternating series of namespace followed by location-URI. This can be combined with the use of an EntityResolver. If you use the non-JAXP parsers provided by Xerces, you can specify an XMLEntityResolver. This is passed an XmlResourceIdentifier, which, for a needed XML schema, will include the target namespace of the schema. You can build an XmlEntityResolver which uses some arbitrary technique to resolve schema namespaces to the source text.
