I will give this a short...

But will it be a better approach to accept a date as string and call a
method to validate it, so that all invalid dates can be caught using the
existing date classes easily ? What approach would you recommed ?

e.g.

  <xsd:simpleType name="StringNotNullDate_CCYYMMDD">
    <xsd:annotation>
     <xsd:appinfo>
        <jxb:javaType name="java.lang.String"
        parseMethod="XMLDataConvertor.parseNotNullStringtoDate_yyyyMMdd"
        printMethod="XMLDataConvertor.parseNotNullDateToString_yyyyMMdd" />
     </xsd:appinfo>
    </xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
      <xsd:length value="8" fixed="true"/>
    </xsd:restriction>
  </xsd:simpleType>


  public static String parseNotNullStringtoDate_yyyyMMdd(String inDate)
      throws ParseException {
    Calendar cal1 = DatatypeConverter.parseDate("");
    inDate = inDate.trim();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
    sdf.setLenient(false);
    Date dt = sdf.parse(inDate);
    return inDate;
  }

I tried the following schema and instance and I received a validation
error as expected. Could you check if this works for you?
