I have XSLT 1.0 standard.
I have one dynamic XML from server which is quite simple and second XML as configuration. Base on first one (which is dynamic) I have to pick up proper nodes information from second one.
This is first document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<response>
    <response>SUCCESS</response>
    <responsedata>
        <hit>
            <url>http://domain.com/page.html</url>
            <id>2437</id>
            <title>Page title</title>
            <language>en</language>
            ...
            ...
        </hit>
    </responsedata>
</response>

Second configuration XML is for footer, header divided by languages. Something like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <set id="local">
        <header>
            <en>
                <![CDATA[
<div id="header">
    <p>English code</p>
</div>
                ]]>
            </en>
            <fr>
                <![CDATA[
<div id="header">
    <p>French code</p>
</div>
                ]]>
            </fr>
        </header>
    </set>
</config>

I need pick up proper language depended code from second XML.
I tried following code and it doesn’t work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" doctype-system="about:legacy-compat" />
    <xsl:variable name="configuration" select="document('settings.xml')/config/set[@id='local']" />
    <xsl:variable name="lang" select="response/responsedata/hit/language" />

    <xsl:template name="getvalueofnode">
        <xsl:param name="path" />
        <xsl:param name="context" select="$configuration" />
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="contains($path,'/')">
                <xsl:call-template name="getvalueofnode">
                    <xsl:with-param name="path"    
                        select="substring-after($path,'/')" />
                    <xsl:with-param name="context" 
                        select="$context/*[name()=substring-before($path,'/')]" />
                </xsl:call-template>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <p>value: <xsl:value-of select="$context/*[name()=$path]" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></p>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:element name="html">
            <xsl:attribute name="lang"><xsl:value-of select="$lang" /></xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:element name="head">
                <xsl:attribute name="lang"><xsl:value-of select="$lang" /></xsl:attribute>
            </xsl:element>
            <xsl:element name="body">
                <xsl:attribute name="lang"><xsl:value-of select="$lang" /></xsl:attribute>
                <p>lang: <xsl:value-of select="$lang" /></p>
                <p>
                <xsl:call-template name="getvalueofnode">
                    <xsl:with-param name="path" select="concat('/header/',$lang)" />
                </xsl:call-template>
                </p>
            </xsl:element>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If some one has any suggestion or solution it will be fantastic.

    Since you already know the name of the element based on $lang, you can eliminate the getvalueofnode template all together.

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" doctype-system="about:legacy-compat" />
  <xsl:variable name="configuration" select="document('settings.xml')/config/set[@id='local']" />
  <xsl:variable name="lang" select="response/responsedata/hit/language" />

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html lang="{$lang}">
      <head lang="{$lang}"/>
      <body lang="{$lang}">
        <p>lang: <xsl:value-of select="$lang" /></p>
        <p>value: <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$configuration/header/*[name()=$lang]"/></p>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

    I also got rid of all the xsl:element and xsl:attribute. These can normally be avoided by coding the elements directly and using AVT (attribute value templates) for the attributes.

    The stylesheet above produces the following output using your XML input files (tested with Saxon 6.5.5 and Saxon-HE 9.3.0.5):

    <!DOCTYPE html
  SYSTEM "about:legacy-compat">
<html lang="en">
   <head lang="en">
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
   </head>
   <body lang="en">
      <p>lang: en</p>
      <p>value: 

         <div id="header">
         <p>English code</p>
         </div>


      </p>
   </body>
</html>
