Automatically create bean instances with bean scope

Every time I try to inject a bean into the scope of beans, I get a NullPointerException when calling a bean. Is this problem directly related to automatic bean session initialization?

Here is what I have tried so far:

faces-config.xml

<managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>sessionBean</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>com.example.SessionBean</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>viewBean</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>com.example.ViewBean</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>view</managed-bean-scope>
    <managed-property>
        <property-name>sessionBean</property-name>
        <property-class>com.example.SessionBean</property-class>
        <value>#{sessionMBean}</value>
    </managed-property>
</managed-bean>

SessionBean.java:

package com.example;

public class SessionBean {

    public SessionBean() {
        System.out.println("Session is instantiated.");
    }

    public void sayHello() {
        System.out.println("Hello from session");
    }
}

ViewBean.java:

package com.example;

public class ViewBean {

    private SessionBean sessionBean;

    private String text = "Look at me!";

    public ViewBean() {
        System.out.println("View bean is instantiated.");

        sessionBean.sayHello();
    }

    public SessionBean getSessionBean() {
        return sessionBean;
    }

    public void setSessionBean(SessionBean sessionBean) {
        this.sessionBean = sessionBean;
    }

    public String getText() {
        return text;
    }
}

and related index.xhtml content:

<f:view>
    <h:outputText value="#{viewBean.text}"/>
</f:view>

And here is what I get:

com.sun.faces.mgbean.ManagedBeanCreationException: Cant instantiate class: com.example.ViewBean.
...
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.example.ViewBean.(ViewBean.java:12)

Running (or rather, not working) on ​​weblogic-10.3.6 with jsf-2-0.war sent, deployed as a library.

What am I doing wrong here? I hope this is not a container error ...
