When I using SNMP4J to simulate the snmpv3's GET PDU, I found that although I add a not-existed OID to the variable binding list, I still get a valid response.
But when the protocol version is v1, I got the error code 2 , means 'no such name'.
When the protocol version is v2c, I didn't GET ERROR, and returned vb list size is 1, and the list(0) variable binding 's syntax is exception ,which means "no such object".
So I can figure out whether it exists or not when using the v1 or v2c, but when it's v3, I got the following response:
SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmStatsUnknownEngineIDs.0 = Counter32: xx
**xx is a number.
The code is :
import org.snmp4j.*;
import org.snmp4j.event.ResponseEvent;
import org.snmp4j.mp.SnmpConstants;
import org.snmp4j.security.*;
import org.snmp4j.smi.*;
import org.snmp4j.transport.DefaultUdpTransportMapping;
import static org.snmp4j.mp.MPv3.createLocalEngineID;

So my question is :
(1)Is this behavior of v3 correctly implemented ? Why didn't I get a some kind of error?
(2)How do I test whether the OID exists or not by using SNMP4J?
