Doing this is possible:

1. Have a multipart form for the fileupload to the server
2. Read the content it with POI (or xlsjdbc)
3. Display the content in the browser as form/table
4. Save the content of the submitted form to the database.

POI is only involved in step 2, all other steps are normal JSP/Struts
or whatever technology.
