增加静态方法要重启tomcat？

        在开发过程中，给 com.thunisoft.fy.business.sp.SelectListUtils 新增加了一个public static方法 getTestSelectList()。在页面的处理的logic类里面使用的时候代码提示都可以提示出来，调用方法也没有报编译期错误。刷新界面后，后台运行到刚才调用的地方就报如下错误：

     咨询同事，得到的是“增加静态方法”要重启tomcat服务。我重启了tomcat果然就没有问题了：）
     有点不太明白，为什么增加静态方法就要重启tomcat服务？这样在开发过程中如果经常增加static方法岂不是每次都要重启，然后就会很浪费时间了。另外，为什么如果我只是修改了原来已经存在的static方法的实现，则可以正常调试。
