Getting a View Object Total Attributes

Question

Hi, Is there any way to retrieve the Attribute count (DataBase Columns) of a View Object in its own java implementation?
I'm using this:
JDev 11.1.1.6
System.out.println("this.getEntityDef(0).getAttributeCount() " + this.getEntityDef(0).getAttributeCount());
System.out.println("Column count1 " + this.getAttributeCount());
System.out.println("Column count2 " + this.getAttributeDefs().length);
System.out.println("Column count3 " + this.getProperties().size());
but none of them works the best way:
the first one gives me 6 more than the actual columns that excist in the entity object
the second and third are gives me more than the attributes of that object
the forth gives me 200 and more
which way gives me the count of the database table columns, and how can I access it in by index?
thanks

- Here is modified code, which prints attribute name along with database column name the attribute represents:
public int getCountOfPersistentAttrs() {
        int result = 0;
        for (AttributeDef attr : getAttributeDefs()) {
            if (attr.getAttributeKind() == AttributeDef.ATTR_PERSISTENT) {
                 System.out.println("Name of persistent attribute : " + attr.getName());
                 System.out.println("Name of the database column the attribute represents : " + attr.getColumnName());
                 result++;
        return result;
    }
