Well, if you get a NPE on this line:
>> user.getState().equals("admin")
then either "user" or "getState()" is null, right?
And, since "user" is definitely not null, your private String "state" is 
obviously null.

Perhaps you should add something like this:
>> private String state = "initial state";
