[Webtest] <property file> -- there must be a solution...

[Dierk Koenig]

Hi,

well, pb here is that Ant resolves its properties long before
runtime and therefor #{i} is not yet replaced with any number.

We have some solution in mind but until then you need a little
groovy step to do the resolution at runtime.

cheers
