Not at all. It's a factory method for an AutoBean<Person>, the
implementation will be generated by the call to GWT.create() or
AutoBeanFactorySource.create().
Person itself is an interface with property accessors (getters and
setters). Yet again, the implementation of that interface will be
generated; when you "generate" the AutoBeanFactory that has a method
referencing it (when creating the AutoBeanFactory above, it needs an
implementation of Person, so it'll generate it at the same time as the
implementation of the AutoBeanFactory).
Actually, you don't have to actually call those factory methods, they can
be there only so that the AutoBeanFactory *knows* the interface to be
treated as an AutoBean, so that it'll generate an implementation for it and
you'll be able to deserialize it from JSON.

But in your case that won't work: AutoBeans don't support arrays
(IGWTMessage[]), only lists, sets and maps (e.g. List<IGWTMessage>)
