Hello, all good news! Via a combination of WSDL4J and Xerces, I think I have something that works that I'd like to share (for your benefit, critique, and improvements).
The code is based on WSDL4J 1.6 and Xerces 2.9, but should work with older versions is well. 1) First, load the WSDL using a WSDL4J WSDLReader, being certain that the javax.wsdl.importDocuments feature is set to true. 2) Next, create an ArrayList or other structure to hold schema "snippets" 3a) Next, do a recursive walk of the WSDL (diving into imports) looking into the getTypes() collection for either: - Schema extensibility elements - Unknown extensibility elements where getElementType() corresponds to a schema QName 3b) Clone the schema element, and add any namespaces (via attributes) to it that exist in the top level Definition (and do not conflict with namespaces already assigned to the schema element) 3c) Serialize the schema element to a string, and create a StringReader for it 3d) Add it to the "schema snippet holder" 4) Use the XMLGrammarPreparser and an XSGrammarPool to iteratively process the schema grammar(s), then create an XSModelImpl passing the array of SchemaGrammar(s). public static XSModel parseMultiple(SchemaCollection coll) { try { XMLGrammarPreparser grammarPreparser = new XMLGrammarPreparser(); XSGrammarPool grammarPool = new XSGrammarPool(); grammarPreparser.setGrammarPool(grammarPool); grammarPreparser.setErrorHandler(new XMLErrorReporter().getErrorHandler()); try { int nItems = coll.getLength(); SchemaGrammar[] grammars = new SchemaGrammar[nItems]; for(int i=0;i<nItems;i++) { XMLInputSource is = null; is = new XMLInputSource(null,null,null,coll.rawItem(i),null); grammarPreparser.registerPreparser(XMLGrammarDescription.XML_SCHEMA,null ); XMLGrammarLoader schemaLoader = grammarPreparser.getLoader(XMLGrammarDescription.XML_SCHEMA); grammars[i] = (SchemaGrammar)grammarPreparser.preparseGrammar(XMLGrammarDescription.XM L_SCHEMA,is); } return new XSModelImpl(grammars); } catch (Exception e) { //parser will return null pointer exception if the document is } } catch (Exception e) { } return null; } 5) Use the combined XSModel as needed... This approach seems to work well, but I'm certainly open for suggestions/improvements.

Hello, all. Here's a quick summary - the WSDL below contains two schema elements. I want to create an XSModel that represents this WSDL, and the only way I can see to do so is by extracting the schema elements separately, turning them into LSInputs, and using the loadInputList method on the XSLoader class. Unfortunately, it does not work - there is always an error attempting to resolve the n0:YYY type when it attempts to create the XSModel. If I separate the first schema element into its own file, and import it, it works fine. However, it should work fine in the same file as well! :-( I suspect it has something to do with the fact that imports within the same "file" (in the case of loadInputList, of course, they are separate sources), would not have a schemaLocation attribute on the import, but only a namespace attribute (as below). I am at a loss to determine how to handle this with Xerces. In this case, I would expect Xerces to simply see if a model or grammar has already been loaded for that namespace. I tried as hard as I could to trace through the source, but I was completely lost working through the intricacies of how these things are resolved.
