OK... sorry.... but "validation" is quite a broad term, so what exactly is your use case? The XSD based validation would only be relevant for an XML based payload. The fact that it is being delivered to the service via JMS is pretty much of irrelevant as far as what it does is concerned. So it sounds like you need to perform some other form of validation, yes?
