How to save or send the data entered on web page into a Microsoft Project(.mpp) file in java

Question

One of our clients requires a web application to be created with elements mapping to the columns of Microsoft Project (.mpp) file.

As soon as an employee/resource enters details about his task like start date, finish date, percentage completion and so on.., the data should be saved into a Microsoft project (.mpp) file.

I am just curious to know if this can be acheived using Java?
