First of all, you should be using marshal method which takes SchemaBinding argument. SchemaBinding for AbstractKernelDeployment is created by parsing JAXB/JBossXB annotations, not by parsing the XSD (this XSD doesn't contain any binding information). You'll need to use one of the build methods of org.jboss.xb.builder.JBossXBBuilder to create SchemaBinding from annotated Java classes.
