Overlaying GeoServer based WMS on a Map

Question

First of all I would like to say that, I am beginner level in terms of any web programming languages. I am trying to build a very basic map with some gis based vector layers overlaid on top of it. I created a point layer on Geoserver with FarmerMarkets name in Mapabase workspave. However I cannot transfer these points on top of map by using HTML. I provided the code below. If you guys can help me I would be grateful. Cheers

L.mapbox.accessToken = <my token>;
var map = L.mapbox.map('map', <>)
    .setView([40, -75], 11);
	
	// Add the WMS      
var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
  "WMS", "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/Mapabase/wms",
  {
    LAYERS: 'Mapabase:FarmersMarkets',transparent: true
  },
  {
    singleTile:true,
    isBaseLayer: false,
  }
);
map.addLayer(layer);
</script>

I noticed that the problem was basically disparity between the reference systems of map and WMS. So it is solved.
