I was trying to overlay a ArcGIS REST mapserver service on top of Google Maps using Openlayers but the result was not what I expected. The overlay shifted way up north though it is in WGS 84 Web Mercator. The other layers in EPSG 4326 coming from GeoServer WMS and PostGIS overlay fine.

Please help!!! It will be highly appreciated.

You are such a tease! I saw that “screen shot” and went straight over to the ArcGIS API page. After hitting F5 a couple of times I realized this was not a wonderful Christmas present from ESRI, but only wishful thinking.
As you wrote in a previous post, there is already an OpenLayers sandbox in which someone has done most if not all of the legwork to make an ArcGIS server JS extender for OpenLayers. Others just need to start trying to use that so that it can be imporved and get traction. I love OpenLayers and would prefer to use it over any of the proprietary JS mapping API’s.

ESRI should add OpenLayers support to handle Google Maps and Virtual Earth at the same time.

Also there is a problem of using Google Maps API to make your data available to whole world with the help of Google. After change of the terms of use, we started to focus on OpenLayers instead of Google Maps API.
