Chaining stylesheets with XSQL!

Question

I am attemping to post a form to an XSQL page and insert the parameters into an Oracle database. The easiest way to do the tranformation is to apply a stylesheet to the XML generated automatically by the XSQL servelet and then apply another stylesheet to the result of the first transformation. I guess my real question is how can I apply a series of XSLT stylesheets in succession with each one operating on the results of the previous transformation?
Thank you in advance for your time,

Dear Steve,
My problem is that the <OPTIONS>...</OPTIONS> is not present in the orginal post. I am having a problem selecting this node in order to apply ext:xmlMarkup. The following is the exact code I am trying to use:
This is the stylesheet that I am applying to the posted request. This works just fine.
addItem.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ext="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/MarkupExtensions"
exclude-result-prefixes="ext">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no" />
<!-- Root template -->
<xsl:variable name="sku" select="//sku" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//sku | //quantity | //specialRequests | //customerID"/>
<OPTIONS>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//dropDown | //checkbox | //addOn"/>
</OPTIONS>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dropDown">
<dropdown id="{substring-before(text(),'|')}" value="{substring-after(text(),'|')}" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="OPTIONS">
<OPTIONS>
<xsl:value-of select="ext:xmlMarkup(*)" />
</OPTIONS>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="addOn">
<addOn sku="{text()}" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="checkbox">
<checkbox value="{text()}" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dropDown">
<dropdown id="{substring-before(text(),'|')}" value="{substring-after(text(),'|')}" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="quantity">
<QUANTITY><xsl:value-of select="//quantity" /></QUANTITY>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="specialRequests">
<SPECIAL_REQUESTS><xsl:copy-of select="//specialRequests/text()" /></SPECIAL_REQUESTS>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="customerID">
<CUSTOMER_ID><xsl:value-of select="//customerID" /></CUSTOMER_ID>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="sku">
<SKU><xsl:value-of select="//sku" /></SKU>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="submit" />
</xsl:stylesheet>This is the XSQL page I am sending the request to for insert into the DB.
addItem.xsql
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<root xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" connection="connJMLIE">
<xsql:insert-request
table="cart"
transform="addItem.xsl" />
</root>Every column is added except OPTIONS. This is null if any "<" are present. This is why I am trying to use ext:xmlMarkup.
My problem is how do I apply the OPTIONS template to the results of the addItem.xsl in order to escape "<" and add the data as I intended?
Thank you for your time Steve,
Jason
