Not from in container.. as ViewScope is bound to JSF.

But deploying any JSF page that has a ViewScoped bean and using @RunAsClient and simply calling the JSF URL via new URL(..).openStream should invoke the Bean....

maybe you should look into Deltaspike test control module: http://deltaspike.apache.org/documentation/test-control.html

In this kind of integration test you have FaceContext and also CDI scopes active.

Here is a nice example: ee6-ds-demo/PageBeanTest.java at master · os890/ee6-ds-demo · GitHub

Is this feasible? Because I tried in a mixed mode test firstly to call from a @RunAsCient  method the jsf page and then in an container method tried to

inject the viewscope Controller bind to the jsf page but still I m getting the

WELD-001303: No active contexts for scope type javax.faces.view.ViewScoped [Proxied because : Original exception caused: class java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.weld.contexts.ContextNotActiveException]

Any suggestions please?
