Does anyone know if there is a DataSet class in Java like there is in .Net? I am familiar with EJB3 and the \"java way\" of doing data. However, I really still miss the se
Made one myself. Only have DataTable and DataRow, and might be incomplete. Check:

Have you looked at javax.sql.rowset.WebRowSet?
From the Javadocs:
The WebRowSetImpl provides the standard reference implementation, which may be extended if required.
The standard WebRowSet XML Schema definition is available at the following URI:
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jdbc/webrowset.xsd
It describes the standard XML document format required when describing a RowSet object in XML and must be used be all standard implementations of the WebRowSet interface to ensure interoperability. In addition, the WebRowSet schema uses specific SQL/XML Schema annotations, thus ensuring greater cross platform inter-operability. This is an effort currently under way at the ISO organization. The SQL/XML definition is available at the following URI:
http://standards.iso.org/iso/9075/2002/12/sqlxml
Check:

You might be looking for LINQ implementation in Java. IMHO better than the DataSet/DataTable route.

Disclaimer: I haven't used either of these.
I'm an author of ExDataSet. If you need a way to send DataSet from java/android application to .NET the web service, you should take a look on this library. It is 100% fully compatible in xml representation with .NET DataSet objects and supports sending tables, rows, relations, foreign and unique keys, nested tables etc.
