/**
 * Factory bean that creates a FreeMarker Configuration and provides it as
 * bean reference. This bean is intended for any kind of usage of FreeMarker
 * in application code, e.g. for generating email content. For web views,
 * FreeMarkerConfigurer is used to set up a FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory.
 *
 * The simplest way to use this class is to specify just a "templateLoaderPath";
 * you do not need any further configuration then. For example, in a web
 * application context:
 *
 * <pre class="code"> &lt;bean id="freemarkerConfiguration" class="org.springframework.ui.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="templateLoaderPath" value="/WEB-INF/freemarker/"/&gt;
 * &lt;/bean&gt;</pre>

 * See the base class FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory for configuration details.
 *
 * <p>Note: Spring's FreeMarker support requires FreeMarker 2.3 or higher.
