when there's a lucee-web.xml.cfm but no lucee-server.xml Lucee 6 does not detect the lucee-web.xml.cfm for import

Description

When preside commands configure a new site, it only writes out a lucee-web.xml.cfm file, but no lucee-server.xml file.

Currently Lucee only looks for lucee-server.xml file, if it's not found, it assumes a new installation and goes single mode

However, the way commandbox works by default, every different lucee version is deployed to a fresh server home.

if a lucee-web-directory is configured, also check for a lucee-web.xml.cfm and it it exists, default to multi mode, otherwise the config is ignored and things don't work

this cannot be fixed, because we would have to do a lot of changes to support something misuses an existing feature.

We have added 2 functions that makes it easy to solve this

  • configImport - allows to insert data into the config at any time

  • configTranslate - converts an existing xml config to json config

PR to update preside server commands to write a lucee-server.xml

but there are other devops workflows I’m aware of which also follow this pattern too

i also have to point out that if you run Lucee once, you always have a server.xml and this whole functionality is to import existing Lucee 5 data. so this only happen with commandbox.

removed commandbox from the task title, as this could happen without command box

Problem is when the decision is mode in the server context, Lucee is not aware of the web contexts yet, simply because web context get loaded afterwards. also we have a one to many relation here.
