Castor has a component that reads a schema into an object graph.
For an example, look at the source for org.exolab.castor.builder.SourceGenerator.
Check out how it used the SchemaUnmarshaller.
Oracle has a java class that does this, also.
The object model is cleaner than Castor's from a UML perspective, but
it hasn't seen wide use.
