Hi list,

I’m quite new to Geoserver; I’m trying to publish some data in SRS 31300, which is Belgian SRS.
When viewing the data in the demo map view my data shows up in a wrong srs (I think it’s WGS84);
I’ve tried using Udig and even there my layer info show WGS84 ???
the Capabilities document is correct and shows 31300 as SRS…
What am I doing wrong ??

I think you just need to have one of your clients request it in the right SRS. The demo map viewer just use 4326, it's pretty simple, and assuming one crs is the way to go. For uDig you just hit the button that says 'WGS 84' and you'll get a dialog, just enter 31300 in the box select the one, and hit 'apply'. Then it should work.

hope that works,

Chris
