Otherwise, it creates an unconfigured UITableView<file:///Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets/com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleiPhone3_2.iPhoneLibrary.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITableView_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/UITableView> object with the correct dimensions and autoresize mask. You can access this view through the tableView<file:///Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets/com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleiPhone3_2.iPhoneLibrary.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITableViewController_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UITableViewController/tableView> property." This bit me once as well. I consider it a poor API design choice to change the behavior so drastically from UIViewController, but it is almost certain not to change at this point.
