WFS Inline Schema

Yes, I'd like to define the XML Schema inside the GetFeature Response.
When GeoTools is parsing the GetFeature response, it sucks in the schemas it
needs to validate the document. Unfortunately when it tries to suck in the
schema from my server, it doesn't know how to negotiate basic
authentication, so gets a 401 and the document fails validation.
The code for the initial GetFeature request is easy to get basic auth
working, but the suck in of schemas is deep in the stack and it would be
difficult to change every method in the stack to accept authentication
arguments.
Creating and setting the default Authenticator in a Java application,
broadly solves this issue, however in an applet, setting the default
Authenticator throws a security exception. I don't want customers to have
to bother with signed applets or monkeying around with java policy files.
In-lining the schema would alleviate me of any code changes on the client
end, that is if the parser knows how to deal with in-line schemas.
Below is an example GetFeature Response and associated schema.
Thanks for any info,
Drew.

What do you mean by inline schema? Do you mean defining the XML Schema
in the XML instance document (i.e. the GetFeature response) itself? If
yes, that's not going to happen. xsi:schemaLocation provides a
namespace and URL value for an XML parser to seek the XML Schema
document and validate against it.
Perhaps I don't understand your problem clearly enough. Do you have
full examples of both the XML instance document, as well as the schema
it uses?
