Honestly I'm not sure whether ResourceResolver would be used for
schemaLocation hints since the docs (for
SchemaFactory#setResourceResolver) only talk about import and include.
It may be worth a try, but I'm afraid XMLUnit currently wouldn't give
you the access you'd need.

If you are specifiying your input (the XML document) as a Source
instance it may be sufficient if this Source has the correct system ID.
I know you've tried that for the SAX InputSource used in the "old"
validation API, maybe JAXP13's take will yield better results.

I agree there should be a better way.  Unfortunately I haven't played
with that part of JAXP too much, so I can't help much more than ask you
to try out things.
