Include other datasets from xml

Question

DBUnit recommends using Small Datasets but I found no example where a small dataset is included in the dataset. I need something similar to (pseudocode)

<dataset>
<!-- this tag is what I am looking for... ;-)-->
     <include_other_datasets_which_is_shared_between_different_datasets datasetname="other.xml"/>
<!-- normal xmldataset-definition begins... -->
<table name="foo">...</table>
</dataset>

Any ideas?

There's no such feature exist in dbUnit as far as I know, and you don't really need that anyway.

Because you can simply execute an operation multiple time for different dataset.

DatabaseOperation.CLEAN_INSERT.execute(conn, "first_table.xml");
DatabaseOperation.CLEAN_INSERT.execute(conn, "second_table.xml");

or use CompositeDataSet to combine mutiple dataset into one in runtime.
