Yes, that would work. You could even do the following:
Person aPerson = new Person();
aPerson.setFirstname("Joe");
aPerson.setLastname("Bloggs")
Integer id = (Integer) sqlMap.insert("insert", aPerson);
// id.intValue() would be the same as aPerson.getPersonId().
This way, you don't have to set anything via the keyProperty attribute of
<selectKey>.

After calling the insert method, your bean (or map) would have the
personId property set.
Just to be clear, if I now do
Person aPerson = new Person();
aPerson.setFirstname("Joe");
aPerson.setLastname("Bloggs")
sqlMap.insert("insert", aPerson);
int anID=aPerson.getPersonId()
anID would end up with the id of the inserted record?
