Hi caren,
From your post I couldn't understand whether the method that times out is the only one accessed through firewall (by web front end developers and yourself as well).
At any instance, you could monitor your network traffic and make sure that request is indeed being sent out to the web service methods you're testing. I suggest using:
- either Apache TCPmon (simpler to use but requires endpoint to be changed to a local address and port)
- or Wireshark (a bit more complicated and capable but requires no changes to your soapUI project or your web services server)
Do let us know if you learn more about this problem this way.
Cheers!
