title: Updating Mule application through the mmc
body: <p>I'm trying to update an application in the evaluation version of Mule ESB EE.
  I upload to repository, create a new deployment and start it.</p>
  
  <p>But the server is still serving up the old .xml</p>
  
  <p>I've tried stopping and starting the service, creating a new one with another name and whatnot but still no luck. Only thing that works is hot-deploying (drop the zip file into the directory) but that has the drawback of not showing up in the mmc.</p>
  
  <p>Checking the Mulesoft forums yields one similar question that was posted 8 months ago (around october 2012) with no resolution. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone here run into this and knows of a fix?</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>Edit</em></strong> </p>
  
  <p>I figured out a workaround: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>When exporting the project in Mule Studio, instead of "Publish to Application Repository" select "Mule Studio Project to Mule......" (the zip file)</li>
  <li>Using the mmc interface go to deployments tab, select repository and create new.</li>
  <li>Import the .zip file you just created and deploy as usual.</li>
  </ol>
