I'd managed to solve the problem. It seems that the entitymodel.xml loads according to the sequence of the component to be loaded as well.
For example, in my case, the view-entity ViewOfficerPaymentInfo is being declared in the Payment entitymodel.xml while the ViewOfficerSalesReport was declared in the Customer module. Since i didn't explicitly stated the sequence to load the component in the hot-deploy folder, the Customer component was loaded first before Payment, and hence the view-entity definition in the Payment module wasn't available in the Customer module. After i added the component-load.xml and explicitly stating the sequence, everything started to work like a charm. Hope this can help whoever that's facing the same problem.
