Hello Dominique,

something that puzzled me as well. The standard (OGC 06-121rc) to which the
WPS standard refers to says:

<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/file/n5045680/OGC06121r3_Tab21.jpg> 

and examples are found in the text:
Two examples of XML encoded bounding boxes are: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<BoundingBox xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1 owsCommon.xsd"
crs="urn:ogc:crs:EPSG:6.3:26986" dimensions="2">
 

<LowerCorner>189000 834000</LowerCorner>


<UpperCorner>285000 962000</UpperCorner>

</BoundingBox>



<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<WGS84BoundingBox
xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1
owsCommon.xsd">



 <LowerCorner>-71.63 41.75</LowerCorner>
 <UpperCorner>-70.78 42.90</UpperCorner>
</WGS84BoundingBox>

However the example in the manual is:

Geoserver manual (scroll to the bottom)
<http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/wps/operations.html>  

which looks like WKT (aka well known text), which is a closed ring, i.e. the
last coordinate must equal the first and a rectangle consists therefore of 5
coordinates.  

Can somebody enlighten us, please.

Cheers

Christian
