com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.jts.BaseTransaction catches and throws a NullPointerException instead of checking if it is null first
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBTM-990
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-990
             Project: JBoss Transaction Manager
          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.
