If you only need to validate according to a DTD or
RelaxNG schema, you could also hook JDom with Woodstox
stax processor (using JDom StaxSerializer I
contributed a while ago). Woodstox has optional
output-side validation available with latest dev.
builds (2.9.3). If you give it a dummy/null Writer
(that won't really output anything), that'll be close
enough to in-memory validator (ie. modest overhead).
DTD validation is in-built, RNG validation is done my
using MSV. Right now W3c schema validation has not yet
been implemented, but is planned, also using MSV.

Not really an optimal solution, but one possibility
(and free, if that matters).
