No downcast occurs here.
The class hierarchy is as following,

StateHandker<--StateHandlerSupport<--SigninHandler
I am casting SigninHandler to StateHandker.

If we can explain why add a print statement will make exception
disappear, we maybe up to something.  My instince tell me that
there maybe a jar conflict somewhere.  But so far, I failed to
proof that.  Event so, it is still hard to explain that adding
a print statement will make difference.
