The answer to your second question can be found on the following message board thread:

Is it possible? Yes, see the other answers.

Should you do this? Most likely not. Freemarker Templates are view technology. Use your business layer to implement anything outside of the view realm, not templates. If this would go through my code review, I'd probably reject it unless you are implementing a very rare corner case or can really argue well for it (which I don't expect)
