Hi Alessandro, I'm also new to the list, but at least this response will get you some more attention ;-)
As stated in the docs, OpenLayers.Layer.getDataExtent() is to be implemented by the subclasses of layer. For layers.WMS this is not the case (http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/WMS-js.html) but e.g for Layers.Markers (http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/Markers-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.Markers.getDataExtent) the method is defined. I hope this helped a little bit, but keep in mind that this email is coming from a novice. See you over at mapstorer... ...
