It's more complicated that that. There are three options: - leave native: to be used when you want to lie to your user, but want to actually keep on using the math of the original projection. Rarely ever needed - force declared: to be used when the native projection is missing or wrong, will make the native be completely ignored. Works fine as a default too (that is, when native and declared are the same) - reproject from native: this actually has two valid usages. The first one, for which this was born, is when you have a legit native SRS that cannot be matched to any official EPSG code. It's probably some custom projection or some obscure/old national projection. By using "reproject to declared" you can choose a valid EPSG code to be advertised, and publish your data as if it was in that projection. The other legit case is then one mentioned by Jukka, you have standard WFS 1.0 clients that cannot use the srsName parameter (which, in WFS 1.0, is to be considered a GeoServer vendor extension) but you still want to provide them a layer in one or more projections (WFS 1.0 wise). You can do that by publishing the same layer multiple times doing the "reproject from native" dance, changing each time the declared srs. Makes sense?
