handleName = "packagename.SigninHandler";

I do have printstack in my code.  The exception points
to line indicated in previous email.

I played more with my app.  If I add 
Object o2= new SigninHandler();
statement, no exception is thrown.  
If we can explain this, maybe we are upto something.

    Class c1 = Class.forName(handlerName);
    Object o = c1.newInstance();
    handler = (StateHandler)o;  // exception throws
    Object o2= new SigninHandler();  // add this line, no exception
