[Webtest] newbie needs help - nesting properties

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi Michael,

afaik the ${...} variables are expanded by ant and the #{...} by webtest.
I guess that in your case ant doesn't expand the variable because it's not valid 
for him (probably because it contains a "{"). No idea of an other way to process.

Marc.
