Hi,

What is the WMS server and its setup? Can the WMS server return the map in 
spherial mercator? Also make sure that the WMS server knows the right "alias" 
for it. Some know 900913, some 1002113.

At least getMapWithUsHighWaysOnTopOfWebMercator() and getMapWithCustomStyle() 
methods in VolApplication (in project under test directory) does this.

Hi,
I found the solution to this problem.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5324781/background-layer-in-epsg900913-causes

The WMS server is GeoServer.
I tried passing the options when creating the OpenLayersMap object but it seems 
the options were not being recognized. The problem persisted.
I then hard coded the max extent bounds and it worked.

Attached is the MapOverlay class.

Hi,

Couldn't you use the server side API to feed init parameters for the map? Like 
this:

myMap.setJsMapOptions("{maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-20037508, -20037508, 
20037508, 20037508)}");

If there is a lot of use for maxExtent parameter, we could add a better typed 
Java API, similar to setRestrictedExtent.

cheers,
matti
