[Webtest] Simple reporting tutorial

[Marc Guillemot]

As far as I can see, the exception is thrown by the webtest (the testspec task), 
but you don't provide this part of your ant file in the code extract.

It seems that the attribute resultpath and/or resultfile in the webtest's 
<config> task have/has not been set.
