Description

From the users mailing list, if Torque.getConection() is called and Torque is not initiialized, the error message is now
java.lang.NullPointerException: There was no DataSourceFactory configured for the connection XXX
at org.apache.torque.TorqueInstance.getConnection(TorqueInstance.java:711)
at org.apache.torque.Torque.getConnection(Torque.java:268)
at org.apache.torque.util.Transaction.beginOptional(Transaction.java:80)
at org.apache.torque.util.Transaction.begin(Transaction.java:62)
.....
There should be a check whether Torque is initialized, and an exception thrown which says that Torque is not initialized if it is not.

This issue does not block the release of Torque-3.3-RC2
