Description

When an ArcMap 9.2 map is projected to a non-defined EPSG projections, calls to the WMS GetMap request are made with an SRS value of EPSG:0. Which GeoServer returns an error for preventing ArcMap from displaying the data.

I know that EPSG:0 is causing the problem because I saved a copy of the WMS GetCapabilities request removing the <SRS>EPSG:</SRS> from the file, and connected to this file instead of the service. Using the file, I was able to use non-defined EPSG projections in ArcMap 9.2 and ArcMap requested the default SRS and projected the data correctly.

From Ryan Hofschneider's posting to GeoServer Users mailing list on 26 Mar 2008:

I took a look at the handleRootSRSAndBbox method in:

http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/tags/1.6.2/geoserver/wms/src/main/java/org/vfny/geoserver/wms/responses/helpers/WMSCapsTransformer.java

and saw (and tested) that if your GeoServer has no registered feature types (e.g. you just have coverages registered), then you'll get a common EPSG string of "EPSG:". I'd file a bug.

Looking at the code, you'll also hit this condition if your layer has an empty string SRS, but off hand I am not sure if that is possible.

All these issues have been in "resolved" state for at least one month (many of them, much more than that). Since no one has reopened them, I'm mass-switching them to closed state. Reopen if you feel the issue has not been addressed properly.
