Salim,

I have some experience, sure (you mean geoserver as in GeoServer.org
<http://GeoServer.org>, y?). I think I would need to hear more about the
"specific javascript" part, though, as I think a typical stack has some
distance between client-side stuff like javascript and GeoServer itself.
So, for example, our stuff typically looks like this:

PostGIS/rasters/other sources --> GeoServer --> GeoWebcache -->
WMS/WFS/WMS-T/KML/etc. --> OpenLayers --> web GUI

...Where the geowebcache part is entirely optional but nonetheless where
the javascript is on the OpenLayers/GUI end, loading GeoServer output
using the innate functionality of the viewer. I'm sure you can do some
operations with direct javascript calls to GeoServer, but I doubt I
/could/ help in that case.

Additionally, I'm not sure I understand "Geoserver uses its own spatial
reference," either but I'm willing to listen.

Chris
