If you do your datastore factory in GeoServer and use
GeoServerExtensions to lookup the catalog you'll get enough information
to pull this out. That's the approach I'd suggest you use.

Alternatively, you can do this fully in GeoTools if your datastore
configuration file has all the information needed to connect
to the slave datastores, that is, a set of connection parameters per
slave datastore. And you'd also need a way to configure the datastores
separately as I guess you might want to use the same datastore multiple
times (multiple feature types in the same db building your pyramid).
This is doable, but at the same time looks pretty much complex to
configure from a GeoServer user point of view (the point and click
kind of user, that is).

Anyways, whatever you do, try to make it as configurable as possible
from a programmatic point of view, with the new UI we'll try to
make everything as configurable as possible from the UI itself
(so the way the configuration is stored and edited might change).
