Hi,
please remember to keep the mailing list cc’ed (see the user list guidelines, that
we ask everybody to read before posting: http://geoserver.org/comm/userlist-guidelines.html).
I finally have access to the code, as far as I can see the only way to get that particular error
message it to have disallowed the openlayers format in the WMS settings, either the global
ones, or the ones that are specific to the workspace.
E.g. something like this, with the openlayers format in the “available” column instead of the “allowed” one:

If you are still in doubt, check the geoserver logs for the full strack trace associated to that
error (just run a preview request, it should be the last long trace you see in the logs) and share
it back to the list.
Cheers
Andrea

Creating maps using application/openlayers is not allowed
Forbidden… did you disallow the application/openlayers format in the wms
configuration panel?
