Projection issues on WFS-Server

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

  Please have a look at documentation at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_server

  From what I can see, what is missing is a projection object on the 
layer with the epsg code that reflects the projection of your layer. 
Wiyth that addition, you should  get n appropriate latlon bounding box 
representing the extents of your layer.

Later,
