[Geoserver-users] Advertise layers in SRS 54004 (T mercator)

Hello list.

I'm using Geoserver to overlay WMS layers into Google Maps API. This is done
thanks to the great script "all generic wms service for GoogleMaps v2" by John
Deck. (http://johndeck.blogspot.com/)

You can see it in action here: http://www.wfisjamboree2007.org/

However, at large zoomed out views, layers suffers "large degree of
exaggeration of land masses near the poles". The script has a workaround: at
large zoom values, it switches from getting data in SRS 4326 to SRS 54004
(Mercator).

At this point is where I need your help. I know how to add other SRSs to
Mapserver, but, where can configure Geoserver to advertise its layers in SRS
54004?

Thanks in advance

Eduin

It sounds like you need to define a custom projection for Geoserver.
If so, there are 2 ways to do that, depending on the branch you use:
