CruiseControl, ClearCase and Dynamic Views

When I set up CruiseControl in our development infrastructure, I struggled a little bit with the ClearCase integration. I got a lot of information from the very good book Kevin A. Lee: IBM Rational(R) ClearCase(R), Ant, and CruiseControl: The Java(TM) Developer's Guide to Accelerating and Automating the Build Process. Unfortunately the book is not explicit whether to use dynamic or snapshot views in conjunction with CruiseControl. In our project most of the developers are using dynamic views to set up their private workspaces. So I tried to use dynamic views as well for CruiseControl. That was not a brilliant idea. Whats the problem? When I set up CruiseControl as a windows service, I put the CruiseControl configuration file 'config.xml' into ClearCase. I recognized that the dynamic view with the 'config.xml' is not accessible by the service. Dynamic views have to be started with a cleartool command and then are mapped as drives. That must happen before the windows service is started. That seems not an straight forward solution when you are using the Java Service Wrapper. Also mapped drives are not accessible by a windows service as long as no user is logged on. You can't use the drive letter, instead you have to use an URL. In the end it was much easier to set up CruiseControl with a snapshot view.
