To All
I just write this quick and dirty test
<project name="test" default="server">
<target name="server">
<property name="test" value="This will be echoed"/>
<echo>${test}</echo>
</target>
</project>
F:\>ant
Buildfile: build.xml
server:
[echo] This will be echoed
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
My suggestion is if the solution works use it

Sorry that is invalid - invalid xml. Attribute values have to be quoted.
<echo message="${servrestart}"/>
Then the Ant runtime would search for a property servrestart and evaluates
that to its value or - if not set - to ${servrestart}. So you�ll get
a) with value=Hello World
[echo] Hello World
b) not set
[echo] ${servrestart}
Back to the original thread: what you can do with unset properties is
<target name="server.check">
<loadfile property="servrestart"> ...
</target>
<target name="server" depends="server.check" if="servrestart">
<echo>Property set. Server has to be restarted.</echo>
</target>
