[Geoserver-users] How to load a DTED directory as a Data store

Hello, This is my first time here so please excuse any mistakes.

I have some DTED0 maps. I have gone through all the process to load the extensions for geoserver to use the DTED format and have successfully loaded DTED map files. My problem is that I have to load each DTED map file individually. The down load comes with a number of tiles inside a directory structure. I don't want to have to load each tile separately. I would like to be able to point GeoServer to the DTED directory and all the files load. I want to do this not only because it is easier but because I also don't want to have to address each tile individually when setting up the layer in Openlayers which is what the tutorial did. I am going to put the whole world in and will have far to many tiles to do them individually. Any help on how to load the map files into GeoServer easily and in a way such that setting up the layer in Openlayers does not require the tile to be listed individually would be appreciated.
