tabBar didSelectItem seems not to be working

In my header file I have this:

@interface TabBarController : UIViewController <UIApplicationDelegate, UITabBarDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate>{

    IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;

}

-(void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item;

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;

@end

In my main file I have this:

@synthesize tabBarController;

-(void)viewDidLoad{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.tabBarController.delegate = self;
    self.view = tabBarController.view;
}

-(void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item{
    NSLog(@"rawr"); 
}

- (void)viewDidUnload {
    [super viewDidUnload];
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [tabBarController release];
    [super dealloc];
}


@end

I have already connected my tabbarcontroller as a delegate to my file's owner in interface builder, but it still never calls the didSelectItem method.

Is there anything that I'm missing here?

I have already added tabBarController.delegate = self; and it still does not work.
