Migrate to XSLT 2.0 from 1.0

I am using XSLT 1.0(gerenated by Mapforce tool) and this transformation gets called around 15000 times a day. This is part of a real-time activity. From what I found, exception-handling(throwing exceptions) is not available in XSLT 1.0. XSLT 2.0 seems to have this feature. In addition, we have a need to validate the XML against the schema as well. Could we have the validation turned on without any performance sacrifice? Would switching to 2.0 be the right way to go?

Could we have the validation turned on without any performance sacrifice?

That should be pretty easy to test, no?

Really? I did a quick Internet search and I can't find this exception-throwing feature of XSLT 2.0 mentioned anywhere. The XSLT 2.0 Recommendation doesn't use the word "throw" anywhere, but perhaps they use a different word for it? What is the feature that you're referring to?

If you want to terminate your XSL transformation abruptly, then <xsl:message terminate="yes"/> is the easiest way to do that.

With regard to exception handling, heres the link to Mapforce help .

I'm sorry, I don't understand any of that. My first guess is that you can do something which prevents you from generating XSLT 2.0 code in some cases, but I don't see what XSLT 1.0 versus 2.0 has to do with it. However if you think it would improve your situation then I don't see anything stopping you from trying it and seeing what happens.
