public interface EchoService {
    [OperationContract]
    void Ping();
}

[ServiceBehavior         


        

Answer 1

For wsHttpBinding you need to use security of some sort if you're hosting it in IIS you'll need to set a certificate.

Answer 2

If you are connecting to wsHttpBinding service and getting timeouts in SoapUI project

Open the first request and press the WS-A button (on the bottom of the request editor). Check “Enable WS-A addressing”, “Add default wsa:Action” and “Add default wsa:To”.

(From http://berendjdejong.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/soapui-and-wcf-service-testing/)

After these changes I was able to properly communicate with WCF service.

See more details about WS-A at http://www.soapui.org/SOAP-and-WSDL/using-ws-addressing.html
