It had become a little bit of a puzzle meanwhile.

So the problem is the (String) content of handlerName.
Since no ClassNotFound Exception is thrown,
it must be StateHandlerSupport.
You cannot downcast to a more specialized class,
if the instance is of a type above (more general) in the hierarchy "only".

Your cast in printing is right but the cast at the assignment is the
"special".
