Surely there's got to be something wrong with this string:

    "D://Temp//dstjobreq.xsd"

For a start, what's with the double forward slashes?  If this is Windows, they 
should be double *backslashes* (when in a Java string).

But even if this works, I would have expected that the string should be a URI 
not a filename.  In Linux, I would write something like:

    "file:/tmp/dstjobreq.xsd"

but where you have a Windows drive letter, you will need:

    "file:///D:/Temp/dstjobreq.xsd"

(note there are *3* slashes after "file:")
