addProductA has to be specified as the 'factory' in the
factory_type_information, and also as a contentConstructor in
__init__.py.

It will then be called by the normal CMF content creation process, which
is to call invokeFactory in the container where the object is to be
created (or using the Types Tool directly). If you create the content
object in any other way then it won't have proper CMF behavior.
