Resource filtering in modular project

i have a maven multi-modular project (model,service,util,webapp). I have a few profiles defined in the pom.xml of the webapp project.

<profile>
        <id>Dev</id>
        <properties>
            <db.driverClass>..</db.driverClass>
            <db.connectionURL>..</db.connectionURL>
            <db.username>..</db.username>
            <db.password>..</db.password>
            <pathFile>myFolder/myFirstPath/</pathFile>
        </properties>
    </profile>

    <profile>
        <id>Prod</id>
        <properties>
            <db.driverClass>..</db.driverClass>
            <db.connectionURL>..</db.connectionURL>
            <db.username>..</db.username>
            <db.password>..</db.password>
            <pathFile>myFolder/mySecondPath/</pathFile>
        </properties>
    </profile>

I'm trying to change dynamically the property path that is located in my util project. This is the skeleton of my modular project

|-- parent
`-- pom.xml
    |-- model
    |   `-- pom.xml
    |-- util
        |--src
            |--main
                |--resources
                    |--props
                        props.properties
    |   `-- pom.xml
    |-- webapp
    `   -- pom.xml

In the pom.xml of the util project i enabled the resource filtering

<resources>
    <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
    </resource>
</resources>

And finally i wrote

pathToChange=${pathFile}

in the props.properties file. But when i run

mvn jetty:run -P Dev

the value of pathToChange property doesn't change. Where am i doing wrong?

You've defined the profiles in the wrong project. You have them in webapp, instead of util. These project properties only relate to the project they're defined in, unless this is a parent pom. Properties defined in one pom cannot (otherwise) be used in another pom.
