* WCF : Endpoints

All communication in WCF happens through endpoints.

Each endpoint contains following details :

1. Address of the endpoint. It uniquely identifies the endpoint.

2. Binding information for the client.

3. Contract that identifies the methods available.

Sample config file :

In the below config the endpoint has base address while the second end point has address as baseAddress/mex
