[GIS] GetFeature with WFS layer is not working as the click coordinates are returned in spherical coordinates

Question

GetFeature with WFS layer is not working as the click coordinates are returned in spherical coordinates.

Using GeoServer 2.1.3 and OpenLayers 2.11

Layer information is in EPSG:4326, WMS works fine, WFS transaction works fine

Trying to GetFeature information on click from the WFS layer as the total number of features are small and it is a custom vector layer.

control = new OpenLayers.Control.GetFeature({
    protocol: wfs_layer_protocol,
    box: false,
    hover: false,
    click: true
});

control.events.register("featureselected", this, pickNodeId);
map.addControl(control);
control.activate();

The WFS post request has the following bounds:

<gml:lowerCorner>-14710846.457064 4317003.9227542</gml:lowerCorner> 
<gml:upperCorner>-13710750.910779 6517099.4690396</gml:upperCorner>  
</gml:Envelope>
</ogc:BBOX>
</ogc:Filter>

try this:

control = new OpenLayers.Control.GetFeature({
  protocol: OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS.fromWMSLayer(layer),
  box: true,
  hover: true,
  multipleKey: "shiftKey",
  toggleKey: "ctrlKey"
  });
control.events.register("featureselected", this, function(e) {
  var feat = e.feature;
  var res = feat.transform(map.getProjectionObject(), new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"))
  alert(res);
  });

i hope it helps you...
