Hi, I wrote an Image mosaicking/pyramidal plugin for a tile store in  a DB.

It is the same principle as the existing image mosaicking plugin, but it was 
impossible to use it because I have 10 million tiles (200x200 inPixel) and  
my wms client requests images of 1280x1024 size.  10 million files would be a 
headache, tiled geotiff files with pyramids are limited to 2 GB in size, so 
there was no solution for me.

My idea was to implement something like ARCSde does, but using jdbc with the 
possibility to adapt to any database with a spatial extension. 

My geoserver deployment platform is an AIX 5.3 with Websphere Application 
Server 6.1. My Database is DB2 9.1 with Spatial Extender.

Since there is  no native encoding/decoding support on the AIX Platform I got 
a serious performance problem. The Solution was a multithreaded tile decoding 
which works fine. (My biggest table has 3,5 million tiles). 

I use the geotools api for spatial DB access, only the few SQL statements for 
tiles are hard coded.

I want to contribute this plug to the geotools, so what are the next steps ?
