[OpenLayers-Users] Retrieving different coordinates

[Hufjan]

Hello Bart,
I experimented with my map trying to get coordinates for EPSG:4326 from 
my EPSG:32632.Map. What I did is changing the request from

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?bbox=277023.0864899452,5233434.01524883,923881.7291952965,6106592.061342626&styles=&Format=application/openlayers&request=GetMap&layers=topp:Deutschland&width=457&height=550&srs=EPSG:32632 


to

http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?bbox=*5.508,47.117,15.619,55.104*&styles=&Format=application/openlayers&request=GetMap&layers=topp:Deutschland&width=457&height=550&srs=EPSG:4326

Then I get my coordinates in Lat/Lon.
But: I didn't want to convert my 'mappicture'. It should remain in the 
same UTM-projection I rectified it to. So my result is just a half step 
forward.
Coordinates fine, map declined :-(

I discussed this theme in the Geoserver-List as well. There I was told 
about the proj4j-library - especially about Mike Adair sandbox 
(http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/sandbox/madair/lib).
This is meant to reproject coordinates from UTM (for all SRS handeling 
UTM?) to EPSG:4326.
But I was was only told where to find it. So far nobody seems to have 
experience with it neither knows if it's working. I also didn't find any 
tutorials how to deal with it.

Do you ever met this problem?

Best regards,
cuxland
