bypass FreeMarker caching?

Is it possible to bypass the Freemarker cache when certain templates are requested? I realise that I'll probably have to implement my own TemplateLoader in order to do this, but even so, I can't see a way to check the cache when say template A is requested, but bypass it when template B is requested?

If this is not possible, I'll just have to disable caching completely.

You would set this on the configuration object itself. See this page for details.

For your particular problem, you could do the following:

cfg.setSetting(Configuration.CACHE_STORAGE_KEY, "strong:0, soft:0");

try disabling caching on your configuration:

configuration.setTemplateUpdateDelay(0);

This should cause it to check for a newer version of a template every time it's requested.

To skip the cache for only certain templates, you only need to override getLastModified to return a very old date for certain templates, forcing a reload.
