You do not publish the methods of classes but of objects
(or class instances).
Thus, your product must instantiatiate the class
and either

 * place the instance as Zope object in the site hierarchy
   (there are some restrictions to observe,
   the class should be an instance of "Persistent"
   and "Acquisition.Implicit" (or "Explicit").

 * use the "__bobo_traverse__" hook to make
   the object URL accessible.


Some of what you need to learn is in the Product Development Guide
(--> zope.org). Other things, you may find in
