GeoServer trunk does not correctly match a shapefile's projection to the correct epsg
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-3305
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3305
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Configuration
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta2
Environment: Ubuntu GNU/Linux. Sun Java, Tomcat, GeoServer was built from trunk and Shapefiles
Reporter: Ivan Willig
Assignee: Justin Deoliveira
GeoServer fails to correctly assign the correct projection to a shapefile with a valid .prj file.
The Shapefile's .prj looks is::
GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
DATUM["WGS_1984",
SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]
and the correct definition for ESPG:4326 is
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
DATUM["WGS_1984",
SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,
AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]
However, I think GeoServer should be able to recognize this as 4326. If you need a shapefile that cause this bug please contact me as I cannot distribute these shapefiles.
Thanks guys.
