No. It would be nice if XJC can somehow capture the schema it's
compiling and package it so that you can readily use it at runtime.
Another related thing you can do today is to generate a schema from the
classes and use that for the validation. The constraints will be weaker
than the original schema, but probably still better than nothing.
