NSInternalInconsistencyException on RootViewController

I'm trying to create a navigation-stype app, but I want to customize the initial view so that the tableview doesn't occupy the entire frame, but rather is embedded within a sub-view so I can some labels and an image when the app is first launched.

I declared UIView and UITableView ivars in RootViewController.h, and added them both as properties with the standard "(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet" tokens; and in RootViewController.m, I synthesized both, and added code to set them to nil in viewDidUnload, and released them in dealloc. (Trying to be a good memory-management citizen.) I haven't added any other code. No warnings on the compile. When I tried to test-drive the app, it crashed immediately (and repeatedly) with the message:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception                                       

NSInternalInconsistencyException',
reason: '-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] loaded the
"RootViewController" nib but the view outlet was not set.'

I have connected both the view and the tableview to the File's Owner in my RootViewController nib; when I right-click on File's Owner in the object graph, I see both of them listed as Outlets. When I right-click each control, I see File's Owner as the Referencing Outlet.

Help! How do I fix this?

What this means is that the RootViewController's view property (inherited from UIViewController) isn't connected to a view in the nib file. If you right click the File's Owner in the object graph, so you see it's view outlet connected to a view in the layout as in the attached screenshot?

Can you post your RootViewController.h file as an edit to your question?

you just need to connect the default view in xib to the file owner.
