It is the function that creates your new "ProductA" objects and adds
them to a container.
Usually, it is the action use in the form that requests the necessary
parameters for object creation. This form in turn is usually
activated by the ZMI's "add list".

Should I understand what you are saying here?

When you use your product as content class of a CMF Type, then
you would put the "addProductA" as "Product Factory" in the type
description.
