Help with Oracle CLOB

Question

I have CF8 and Oracle 10g. I am trying to write a cfc for use
by a Flex3 application over the AMF channel. What should the
ReturnType be for the retieve function? If I use Query, and return
the CLOB as a QueryObject, I can easily put the CLOB into a
datagrid. But I really want to put the CLOB into a RichTextEdit
control, allow the user to edit, and call an update function to put
it back in the CLOB. I'm just testing right now. the real
application will use a cfc to pull back a lot of data to populate a
form that will have seven or eight CLOBs for different remark
areas.
I have posted this question here because there isn't a
separate forum for questions from the intersection of CF and Flex.
Possibly Acrobat forms would be a better solution than Flex
for the UI, but I have no experience using Acrobat to do the data
retrieve and update.
Thank you for any advice.

I'm not sure what you are asking for here. As far as ColdFusion and
Flex is concerned a CLOB is simply a large quantity of text. As long as
the server, client and the bandwidth in between can handle the text
size; there is nothing different with a CLOB string then the string
"Hello World" and they would be handled the same.
