Make mosaic building a transparent operation
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2294
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2294
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: WMS
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 2.0.x


Some users at FOSS4G lamented the fact that mosaic building offline is 
cumbersome and error prone. Some commercial imagery software allow one to just 
point the software to a directory and have the mosaic built for them 
transparently. 
This is an interesting concept, and should be doable, the only issue I'm seeing 
atm is the time needed to build the mosaic... it should not take that much, but 
what if the number of files is really huge or the metadata to be read "rich" 
and the http request times out in the meantime? 
Anyways, with the new UI we could have a custom UI for mosaics that uses ajax 
to deal with the long operation and report back progress.
