coverageio-mosaic does not work with any persistence mechanism for tile 
informations (neither a file structure or a db). The persistence mechanism is 
up 
to the user: he has the responsability to instantiate a set of Tile objects 
from 
a shapefile, a db or whatever. So we can write a coverageio-mosaic plugin for 
shapefiles and a plugin for databases.

There is actually a persitence mechanism as a database: it lives on the 
postgrid 
module. It does not prevent us in any way to create a persistence mechanism 
from 
shapefiles as well.

If the shapefile contains informations beyond the "pixel world", for example if 
the shapefile contains informations about the geographic envelope and the CRS, 
then it is not intented to live in the MosaicImageReader package. It is rather 
intented to live in some kind of CoverageReader wrapping MosaicImageReader. We 
have not yet reach this level (so from this point of view MosaicImageReader is 
not yet to the conceptual level of your imagemosaic module - which is why I 
said 
that it can generates the images but not the indexed shapefile). The next step 
before to reach this level is to get a GeographicImageMetadata framework. 
Cédric 
is working on refactoring my first attempt into a more "GML in JPEG-2000" 
compliant schema.
