That's not correct code, Deegree should change that to:

setSRID('BOX3D(<some coordinates>)'::box3d, -1);

That call worked in older postgis because it used a dirty hack
accepting GEOMETRY instead of TEXT as first argument. New PostGIS
(1.x) wants a text, and BOX3D::text cast won't ever generate WKT text.
