Using SoapUI to test RESTful service

I have created a RESTful service and successfully tested it using the java client from the sonic MQ samples folder. ie I POST a message it it is accepted and processed through the ESB.

But i would like to confirm that I have created it correctly by using an external client other than the sonic sample. In this case the SoapUI tool.

This is from the Sonic java sample client:

[11/07/25 12:06:33] ID=MgmtBroker (trace) Received HTTP Direct inbound message, containing details...
Client IP=10.30.1.168
User=bpfuels
Request Line=POST /Schedule HTTP/1.1
Status Code=200
[req]Content-Length=1118
[req]Content-Type=text/xml; charset="ASCII"
[req]SampleHeader-AppName=JSSEHttpsClient
[req]SampleHeader-FileName=sample.xml
[req]Content-Length=1118

This is from the SoapUI client:

[11/07/25 08:58:59] ID=MgmtBroker (warning) Unauthorized HTTP access, Client IP=10.30.1.168, UserName=AUTHENTICATED
[11/07/25 08:58:59] ID=MgmtBroker (trace) Received HTTP Direct inbound message, containing details...
Client IP=10.30.1.168
User=
Request Line=POST /Schedule?UserName=bpfules&password=iesfuels*bp HTTP/1.1
Status Code=401
[req]Content-Length=12
[req]Content-Type=text/xml;charset=UTF-8
[req]Content-Length=12
[resp]WWW-Authenticate=Basic

Has anyone used the SoapUI tool to test RESTful services or for that matter any other tool.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tony.
