Worth noting that the parameter bean will not be affected. So (if this is what you want to accomplish) you need to do:

public void saveContact( Contact contact ) throws SQLException {
   Integer id = sqlMap.insert("insertContact",contact);

   contact.setId( id );

log.debug( "I have now saved your object and given it the correct id." );
}

Mike,
According to the JavaDocs for the insert method:

Executes a mapped SQL INSERT statement. Insert is a bit different from other update methods, as it provides facilities for returning the primary key of the newly inserted row (rather than the effected rows). This functionality is of course optional.

The parameter object is generally used to supply the input data for the INSERT values.

*Parameters:*

id - The name of the statement to execute. parameterObject - The parameter object (e.g. JavaBean, Map, XML
etc.).


*Returns:*

The primary key of the newly inserted row. This might be
automatically generated by the RDBMS, or selected from a sequence
table or other source.

Overall, I think it's a really good article. But one question about this example...
public void contactInsert() throws SQLException, IOException { sqlMap.startTransaction(); try { sqlMap.startTransaction(); Contact contact = new Contact(); contact.setContactId(3); contact.setFirstName("John"); contact.setLastName("Doe"); sqlMap.insert("insertContact",contact); sqlMap.commitTransaction(); } finally{ sqlMap.endTransaction(); } }
Inside of our Java code, we create a Contact object, populate its values, and then call sqlMap.insert(), passing the name of the query that we want to execute and the Contact. *This method will insert the new contact and return the primary key of the newly inserted contact.* Is that last sentence true? I am using <selectKey> now.
