I am in the process of migrating my map application to another server with a newer Geoserver version (from 2.4 to the latest version available (master) using the 2.7-SNAPSHOT version of the printing extension (for testing reasons)). My print button in my application was working so far on the old server, but on the new server I keep getting this kind of error:

Can somebody point me in the right direction what to look for in order to get rid of this error?
Thanks

Ok, it was kind of obvious (as the stack trace said (it seems I was kind of blind at that moment)): It is a security issue: As soon as you add the url of the host of the respective layer to your config.yaml (in the "printing" directory in your Geoserver data directory (in the "hosts:" section)), the printing starts working again :)
