Any special requirements for testing WCF web service with SoapUI Pro?
I am running SoapUI 2.0.2 Pro on my client laptop (Windows XP Pro) and a WCF web service on my server (Windows 2008/IIS7). I have been able to use the Microsoft-provided WCFTestClient to test my web service from the server and from my laptop, so I know the service is running and responding to requests. For test purposes I'm just using a simple GetData method that Microsoft Visual Studio.NET provides as part of a new WCF Service project template. I figure I want to see that simple method work before I start trying to test my more complicated method.
When I try to test the simple GetData method with SoapUI on my laptop, I get a timeout: "ERROR:java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out". A simple trace tool running on both the client and the server confirms that SoapUI is issuing a Post to my web service and that the Post is arriving at the server, but nothing shows up in the IIS log. So either IIS isn't picking up the request or is picking it up but failing to fully process or log it. There is nothing in the server event log at the time of the post.
Is there anything special I need to know to configuration SoapUI for testing a WCF web service? I'm relatively new to both WCF and SoapUI, so please don't hesitate to state the obvious. The obvious may not be so obvious to me.
Thanks,
Zoe
