Question

I do not want to use the Xml/dtd files to create a IDataSet in my dbunit Java class that extends DatabaseTestCase, Can it be created using a List<myOjectInstances> objs;

I can’t find any other solutions.
Thanks

How about DefaultDataSet intialized by a DefaultTable? The latter can be easily constructed in code from one or more lists:

DefaultTable fourColTable = new DefaultTable("4COLUMNTABLE",
            new Column[] { 
                new Column("COL1", DataType.BIGINT),
                new Column("COL2", DataType.BIGINT),
                new Column("COL3", DataType.VARCHAR),
                new Column("COL4", DataType.VARCHAR)
                });
for (int i = 0; i < someVal; i++)
    fourColTable.addRow(new Object[] { list1.get(i), list2.get(i), ..., ... });

DefaultDataSet dds = new DefaultDataSet(fourColTable);

EDIT: If you want to insert many tables into a data sent, try it like this:

ITable[] tables = { new DefaultTable(...), new DefaultTable(...), ... };
