WCF ServiceContract上的“名称”属性可以用于更改服务的URI吗？

Question

So the "Name" attribute in a DataContract's DataMember can be used to control the resulting serialized json:

[DataContract(Name = "AuthenticationContract")]
public class AuthenticationContract
{
    [DataMember(Name = "first_name")]
    public string FirstName;

    [DataMember(Name = "last_name")]
    public string LastName;

}

results in:

{"first_name":"frank","last_name":"rizzo"}

I was hoping that the Name attribute on a ServiceContract would do something similar:

[ServiceContract(Name="nameapi")]
public class NameAuthenticationService : INameAuthenticationService    
{
    [OperationContract]
    public string GetName()....
}

So that instead of this

http://localhost:49531/NameAuthenticationService/GetName

... I could use this

http://localhost:49531/nameapi/GetName

Is this possible?

No, ServiceContractAttribute.Name controls the <portType> exposed by the WSDL you publish from the service. What you want to do is change the base address of the service, which you should be able to set in the service's .config file (or set it manually if you're self-hosting).
