I know it’s possible to create java objects and call methods from XSLT. If the method I’m calling returns a DOM document is it possible to merge that into the XML document being processed?

The way external calls from XSLT to Java behave depends entirely on the XSLT processor you are using – it’s not defined in the standard. I would expect the answer is yes – the DOM document will be made visible as a node and can be processed like any other node (for exmaple, it can be copied to the result tree using xsl:copy-of) – but you can only ask the question in relation to a specific XSLT processor.
