${} properties are normal ant properties. Given Ant's philosophy
of a declarative build process, these are normally immutable.
I.e. once you set a property its value normally can't be changed.
Ant property values are typically determined at the start of an
ant target. They are available to both ant tasks and webtest steps.
#{} properties are only available (currently) to webtest steps.
They are dynamic - you can use the same property and set it to
different things throughout your tests. #{} properties support
very simple expressions and there is support for accessing
scripting variables under special circumstances. Property values
are determined at the moment of use.
Cheers, Paul.

Can someone explain the difference in usage between ${property} vs
#{property} ?
I couldn't find a reference in Ant documentation to the #{} form.
I have had an occasion where #{} worked, but ${} didn't, but I
couldn't
find a pattern to the behavior.
Very good explanation! I've added it to the manual.
Best
