Say I have a template that I want end users to be able to edit, and thus
this has to be safe from them being able to output the database connection
string or other unsafe operations.

Can freemarker be used?

Can I have it such that freemarker will ONLY parse specific objects?

Say I have a page that displays products, so I load a List<Products>
variable and send that to my view page.

The end user can only use this @products variable, and is prevented from
doing anything else that could be a security issue.

Possible?

Ruby has something like this already called liquid: http://liquidmarkup.org/
