[Mapbender-users] Problems with EPSG

[Astrid Emde (WhereGroup)]

Hello Sandra,

the problem is that GeoServer does not serve the BoundingBox-Tag in the
XML. GeoServer only offers the LatLonBoundingBox in 4326.

Here is an examle with UMN MapServer:
-----------
<Layer queryable="0" opaque="0" noSubsets="0">
  <Name>myRootLayer</Name>
  <Title>myRootLayer</Title>
  <SRS>epsg:31466</SRS>
  <SRS>epsg:31467</SRS>
  <SRS>epsg:4326</SRS>
  <LatLonBoundingBox minx="6.93635" miny="50.8018" maxx="7.01256"
maxy="50.8501" />
  <BoundingBox SRS="EPSG:31466" minx="2.566e+006" miny="5.62995e+006"
maxx="2.5713e+006" maxy="5.63525e+006" />
....
------

Mapbender can only start with the EPSG-Code, where Mapbender has a
corresponding BBOX.

If you want to add a BoundingBox and an EPSG to start your gui with this
EPSG, you have to add a new row in the Mapbender table layer_epsg.

Find out the layer_id of you root layer and add a new row for the
EPSG-Code you are interested in.

After that you should have the possiblity to choose this new EPSG from the
dropdown list in the WMS GUI Settings.
