I am not sure if I missed something here:

First, I cannot see anywhere that you have said or shown what the value 
of "handlerName" is.  This would seem to be a somewhat critical piece 
of information.

Second, how can you tell that an exception is being thrown from the 
line indicated in the code above.  Your catch block for Exception does 
not do anything, so it would seem to be pretty hard to tell.

I also note that your catch block is not syntactically correct, but I 
presume that this was just in your message.

Could you change the code to the following and post the output?

   StateHandler handler = null;
   try {
      System.out.println( "handlerName = \"" + handlerName + "\"" );
      Class c1 = Class.forName(handlerName);
      Object o = c1.newInstance();
      System.out.println("StateMachine: o = " + (SigninHandler)o);
      handler = (StateHandler)o;  // exception throws
   } catch(Exception ex) {
      System.out.println( "Exception: " + ex );
   }
