There is no view scope for CDI. The conversation scope is not the same. A view scoped bean lives as long as you work with the same view and survives partial or full reloads of the page.

From my experience you can use CDI scopes together with JSF's view scope (e.g. use CDI scopes for session and application beans and JSF view scope where you need it).
