>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) 
>    Affects Versions: 4.15.3
>            Reporter: Stuart Douglas

> com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.jts.BaseTransaction has the following:
> try
> {
>   return theTransaction.getStatus();
> }
> catch (NullPointerException ex)
> {
>   return javax.transaction.Status.STATUS_NO_TRANSACTION;
> }
> This mean's that anyone trying to debug a NPE with an exception breakpoint will constantly hit this, as well as being much slower than a simple null check.
