How can soapUI send/read a XML Encoded Messages to/from a queue?

Hi,

I wanted to replicate the functionality of Hermes ("Send XML Encoded Messages"/"Save as XML")  but using soapUI to populate/read from my queue. However, when i send my message from soapUI, it is send as a Text Message. And when i read the message i populated using Hermes "Send XML Encoded Messages" function, soapUI is unable to return the original message.

Does soapUI support this functionality?

Attachements:

SampleMessage.xml - the original message i sent to Hermes queue using "Send XML Encoded Messages"
XML_encoded.jpg - how it looks like in Hermes queue
SampleMessage_soapUI -  the message returned when using soapUI to de-queue the message
