Tomcat does not recognize tag-class changes in .TLD file

           Summary: Tomcat does not recognize tag-class changes in .TLD file
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: kevin@garnett.cc


I created a tag library and a JSP page to reference it. The .tld reference was 
something like this:
  <tag>
    <name>somename</name>
    <tag-class>com.SomeJavaTagClass</tag-class>
    ...etc...
  </tag>   
I brought up the JSP page and it worked fine. Then I changed the .tld entry as 
follows:
  <tag>
    <name>somename</name>
    <tag-class>com.SomeJavaTagClassThatDoesntExist</tag-class>
    ...etc...
  </tag>   
I shutdown and restarted Tomcat.
When I brought up the JSP page it still worked fine. That was unexpected to me.
If I then modify the JSP file and restart Tomcat, it will give a compile error 
as I expected it to do after the original .tld modification.

Is this expected behavior???
