What is the purpose of base address in WCF service? How it is specified?

Answer:

When multiple endpoints are associated with WCF service, base address (one primary address) is assigned to the service, and relative addresses are assigned to each endpoint. Base address is specified in <host> element for each service.
E.g.

<configuration>

    <system.servicemodel>

      <Services>

<service name=”MyService>

  <host>

  <baseAddresses>

 <add baseAddress =”http://localhost:6070/MyService”>

</baseAddresses>

</host>

</service>

<services>

</system.servicemodel>

</configuration>
