My Faces 2.0.4 generates NullPointer if bean scope is "view"

[RobertGary1 <ro...@sbcglobal.net>]

If I change my bean scope to be "view". If I change it to be "request" it
works ok. Looking at the MyFaces source code it appears that its looking for
a viewroot; however, the view hasn't yet be created.

    <managed-bean>
        <managed-bean-name>faces$DiscoveryStatus</managed-bean-name>
       
<managed-bean-class>com.xxx.client.jsf.DiscoveryStatusBackingBean</managed-bean-class>
        <managed-bean-scope>view</managed-bean-scope>
    </managed-bean>
I get an exception
