Template constructor's parameters

Hi,

When calling freemarker.template.Template class's constructor, which is the
purpose of the 'name' parameter?

In our application we are storing our templates' raw text in a database. Is
it sane to pass null to the constructor instead? Is the template supposed to
be stored with this 'name' under the 'directoryForTemplateLoading' defined
in Configuration? Do I actually need to define a
'directoryForTemplateLoading' when instancing Configuration or is it safe no
to do at all or even to use the default configuration? Remember, our
templates reside in the database and we call the Template constructor
explicitly... and then the only thing we do with the template is to process
in order to 'cook' some text.

Thanks in advance.
