Return empty observable from Angular2 service

Question

I am creating an Angular 2 application that uses a service to collect data. The service contains the following logic:

/* ========== CORE COMPONENTS ========== */
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Response } from '@angular/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/Rx';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';

/* ========== MODELS ========== */
import { IApplicationViewModel } from './models/application.model';

/* ========== CONSTANTS ========== */
import { LogzillaServerConfiguration } from '../../app.configuration';

@Injectable()
export class ApplicationService {
    private getAllEndpoint = LogzillaServerConfiguration.host + '/api/administration/application/getAll';

    // Initializes a new instance of the 'ApplicationService'.
    constructor(private http: Http) { }

    // Get all the 'logzilla' applications.
    getApplications(): Observable<IApplicationViewModel[]> {
        return this.http.get(this.getAllEndpoint)
            .map((response: Response) => <IApplicationViewModel[]>response.json().model)
            .catch(this.handleError);
    }

    // Handle an error that occured while retrieving the data.
    // This method will throw an error to the calling code.
    private handleError(error: Response) {
        return Observable.empty();
    }
}

What this service does is retrieve data from the endpoint and map it to the model, when an error occurs, I return empty Observable.

I also have a resolver that is used to load data from the service before changing the active route. This resolver contains the following logic:

/* ========== CORE COMPONENTS ========== */
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Resolve, ActivatedRouteSnapshot } from '@angular/router';

/* ========== APPLICATION SERVICES ========== */
import { ApplicationService } from './application.service';

/* ========== MODELS ========== */
import { IApplicationViewModel } from './models/application.model';
import { IApplicationLogLevel } from './models/applicationLevel.model';

// Defines the 'resolver' which is used to resolve the applications.
@Injectable()
export class ApplicationResolver implements Resolve<IApplicationViewModel[]> {

    // Initializes a new instance of the 'ApplicationResolver'.
constructor(private applicationService: ApplicationService) { }

// Get all the registered applications.
resolve(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) {
    return this.applicationService.getApplications();
}
}

Defining my route:

{ path: 'applications', component: ApplicationComponent, pathMatch: 'full', resolve: {
            application: ApplicationResolver
        }},

However, when I browse /applications, I am greeted by an error Uncaught (in promise): Error: no elements in sequence..

Edit: component added

@Component({
    selector: 'logzilla-applications',
    templateUrl: './src/app/pages/applications/application.template.html'
})
@Injectable()
export class ApplicationComponent implements OnInit {
    hasApplications: boolean;
    applications: IApplicationViewModel[];
    errorMessage: string;

    // Initializes a new instance of the 'ApplicationComponent'.
    constructor (private route: ActivatedRoute) { 
        console.log('I am here.');
    }

    // This method is executed when the component is loaded.
    ngOnInit() { 

    }

The constructor of my component is not triggered by an event. How can this be solved.
