Can you try this simple test:

File test.properties:
weblogic.webapp.name=myapp

File test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="test" default="showprop" basedir=".">
  <target name="showprop">
    <property file="test.properties"/>
    <echo message="weblogic.webapp.name = ${weblogic.webapp.name}"/>
  </target>
</project>

[BINKY:dianeh]: ant -f test.xml
Buildfile: test.xml

showprop:
     [echo] weblogic.webapp.name = myapp

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
