Word documents are only binary data:
you should be able to store them as BLOBs in an SQL database... I don't use Hibernate though, so can't suggest anything there. This is probably better off in the

Servlets or
JSP forums - as a hint, you'll want to use a form (probably HTML or JSP) with HTTP POST and a servlet to receive the POST data.
