Help - Providing multipart/mixed as request from SOAPUI Tool

I am trying to test my RESTful webservice method using SOAP-UI Tool.
The service method uses multipart/mixed mime-type as request.
I am unable to send a multipart/mixed request to the service using the tool.

I posted the issue to Nabble-Jersey forum. They confirmed this is a SOAP-UI Tool issue.

Request your inputs on this issue.

    Thanks all.

    We are now able to send multipart/mixed request successfully from SOAP-UI/RESTClient to our RESTful Webservice.
    Other than the multipart request, the boundary value should as well be set in the Content-Type header as Content-Type ==> multipart/mixed;boundary=Boundary_1_30199356_1283930553295.
