ERROR [nucleusNamespace.] Invalid attempt to resolve component '' in scope
global. It is defined in scope prototype

I am getting the above mentioned error when i try to use the
GenericService.resolveName(java.lang.String pName) The similer error for
session scope as well. If i change the scope to 'global', things are
working as expected. But I need to have my component in prototype scope.
So what can i do..?
