I have configured the SDL Web 8 Deployer as a standalone microservice. When I try to start the service, I get this error in the logs:
2016-04-06 10:36:37,873 ERROR SpringApplication - Application startup failed org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'deployerController': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is com.sdl.delivery.configuration.ConfigurationException: License file 'cd_licenses.xml' could not be found.
In the cd_storage_conf.xml file of the service, I have the following:
<License Location="C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL Web\config\cd_licenses.xml"/>
I have also tried these variants:
<License Location="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SDL Web\\config\\cd_licenses.xml"/>
<License Location="C:/Program Files (x86)/SDL Web/config/cd_licenses.xml"/>
In the configuration of my Content service, I have the following, and it works:
<License Location="C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL Web\config\cd_licenses.xml"/>
If I copy the license file into the config folder of the Deployer service, it works correctly, but I'd rather keep my license file in a single location.
Why does the Deployer appear to work differently to the other (apparently similar) services, and how can I get it to accept the license location? Is there something else that needs to be configured in addition to the storage conf? (I tried adding a License element at the bottom of the cd_deployer_conf.xml, but I got a schema validation error.)
