error code 32 means "no such object", not zero entries match a query.

Hi All,
Is it standard behavior for an LDAP server to respond with (LDAP Error
32) when a query is run that has no match?
I tried a zero result query with the embedded LDAP Server (that comes
with WebLogic). This query does not return LDAP Error 32, it just
returns an empty result set.
Code snippet:
~~~~
int ldapVersion = LDAPConnection.LDAP_V3;
int ldapPort = 27001;
String ldapHost = "fesbosbgdd33v3";
String loginDN =
"uid=vgnadmin,ou=people,ou=VgnLDAPRealm,dc=vgndomain";
String password = "password masked";
String searchBase = "ou=groups,ou=VgnLDAPRealm,dc=vgndomain";
String searchFilter =
"(&(uniquemember
=cn=Administrators,ou=groups,ou=VgnLDAPRealm,dc=vgndomai
n)(objectclass=groupOfUniqueNames))";
~~~~
Code output:
~~~~
searchResults.getCount() = 0
~~~~
The same kind of query against another LDAP interface (Oracle Virtual
Directory) returns LDAP Error 32.
~~~~
searchResults.getCount() = 0
Error: LDAPException: No Such Object (32) No Such Object
LDAPException: Server Message: LDAP Error 32 : No Such Object
LDAPException: Matched DN:
~~~~
I tried all kinds of queries (valid, invalid, meaningless) against the
embedded LDAP, and each succeeded with either no result or the correct
result.
Please advise,
