Connection error -2147217387 with Java RAS SDK and Crystal Server 2011

Question

Due to a change in operating system, we are required to upgrade our Crystal Reports server from BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Server 11.5 to SAP Crystal Server 2011. We use the Java RAS SDK (RASCore 9.2.2.446 / RASApp 9.0) more or less as described in Java RAS2008-unmanaged exportreport. We use the Crystal Server to export reports stored on disk as PDF files.
In SAP Crystal Server 2011, the CrystalReports2011ReportApplicationServer is configured with Request Port 1566 and Host Identifier 172.16.4.154 (the local machine). The Crystal Server, report-definition files, and Java VM are all on the same machine.
The error is
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKServerException: XML serialization failed.---- Error code:-2147217387 Error code name:connectServer

The code is as follows.
ReportClientDocument clientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
clientDocument.setReportAppServer("172.16.4.154:1566"); // localhost
// Error occurs on ReportClientDocument.open method
clientDocument.open("D:\\path\\to\\report.rpt", com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions.refreshRepositoryObjects.value());
DatabaseController dbController = clientDocument.getDatabaseController();
dbController.logon("dbuser", "dbpassword");
ParameterFieldController pfController = clientDocument.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
Fields fields = clientDocument.getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
ParameterField oldParameter = (ParameterField) field.get(0);
ParameterField newParameter = new ParameterField();
oldParameter.copyTo(newParameter, false);
newParameter.getCurrentValues().clear();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue newDiscreteValue = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
newDiscreteValue.setValue("paramValue");
newParameter.getCurrentValues().add(0, newDiscreteValue);
pfController.modify(oldParameter, newParameter);
clientDocument.refreshReportDocument();
PrintOutputController po = clientDocument.getPrintOutputController();
InputStream is = po.export(reportFormat);
Could anyone advise me how to proceed with resolving this error?

Thanks for the link. I copied the CrystalReportsSDK.jar and logging.jar from the Crystal Server java\lib directory into my project and revised the code accordingly. Now, a slightly different error occurs at the same place:

The revised code is
ReportClientDocument clientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
clientDocument.setReportAppServer("172.16.4.154:1566"); // localhost
// Error occurs here
clientDocument.open("D:\\path\\to\\report.rpt", com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions.openAsReadOnly.value());
