NullPointer exception in TransactionInterceptor if intercepted class has no transaction annotations applied

In com.liferay.portal.spring.transaction.TransactionInterceptor you find the following lines of code

TransactionInfo transactionInfo = createTransactionIfNecessary(
getTransactionManager(), transactionAttribute,
joinPointIdentification);

TransactionStatus transactionStatus =
transactionInfo.getTransactionStatus();

The TransactionInfo object returned by createTransactionIfNecessary is not guaranteed to hold a TransactionStatus object.

This is for instance not the case when you are using a AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource and the object that is being intercepted does not have a @Transactional anywhere

One way to reproduce this is install liferay 6.0.6 apply the fix for LPS-14475, install kaleo and in the control panel go to "my workflow tasks"
