Hi, is there a way in GeoServer to do a batch import of shape files? We have a somewhat enhanced version of the Tiger data that we would like to import in a batch process. From what I have noticed using GeoServer based on the tutorials you need to import each shapefile manually using the admin console or hand modify the catalog.xml file. Is there someway to point GeoServer at a directory and have it suck in all the shape files?
Thanks, S.D.

Unfortunately not, tought we have an almost finished datastore for
directories that would remove one step of the configuration, that is,
you would set up just one datastore, but you still would have to set
up each feature type manually.
Sorry for that, when we swith UI and config subsystems we should be
able to handle this kind of batch imports easily (so stay tuned if
you'll happen to need this again).

If you want to batch import tiger I'd recommend importing in to a postgis database, where you can make it in to a few tables, and then pointing geoserver at that. We've got an extensive tutorial on how to do this at: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/Loading+TIGER+data
If any of those refer to code or attachments, you can get them by hitting Page Operations -> Attachments on the left hand side.
