You may consider using the JAXP 1.3 validator instead when you do schema
validation (if your Java class library supports JAXP 1.3, that is), see
<http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/userguide/html/ar01s04.html#JAXP%201.3%20Validation>.
Using this you have more control over your schema locations.

system ID really is something from the DTD part of XML's heritage, you
could explicitly specify this using one of the alternative constructors
of Validator.  It doesn't help, though, since the system ID is not what
the XML parser is going to use for schema locations.

If you want or must stick to the older API, the Validator's
setJAXP12SchemaSource() is what you are looking for, see
<http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/userguide/html/ar01s04.html#XML%20Schema%20Validation>
