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 JDBC forum. If you want Web app advice, try 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.

Charles suggestion is correct. We use BLOBs to store PDF documents but to ORACLE instead of MYSQL. I'm not sure Hibernate can handle BLOB data though I have very little experience with it. And CRUDing BLOBs usually is not as simple as INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE. So I too would suggest plain JDBC.

Hibernate works fine with BLOB data, I use it to store images in a DB2 database.
