Hello Anuja,

No, that is not possible because the actual file is not in the filesystem.
But with the byte[] you can easily get a InputStream checkout:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1802123/can-we-convert-a-byte-array-into-an-inputstream-in-java

InputStream myInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(file);
POIFSFileSystem myFileSystem = new POIFSFileSystem(myInputStream);
