There's a neat utility called Web Alchemy which you can download from http://apcnt2.au.oracle.com/homepage/ahobbs/WebAlchemy.htm

This will convert a HTML file into a PL/SQL stored procedure which you can call from the Oracle web server. If you want to populate the data then you can embed the SQL statements after converting the file.

Hope this helps,
