Hi Chris!

Want I want exactly is to create a product's object by his name
programmatically not by the construction form
Is this posible?


You cannot know the name of the constructor function, unless you read 
the source.

The constructors added to Zope during the product initialisation can be 
both forms and actual function methods. There is no way of knowing 
which. And there can be more than two.

So you would need to write a factory function based on the info you can 
get from the source. Ie. in an external method. Something like::

def portal_factory(self, parent, portal_type, id='', title='',):

    "Adds the content. A factory function."

    # generate a general id
    if id == '':
        id = self.ZopeTime().strftime(portal_type + '_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')
    zope_factory = parent.manage_addProduct

    # add the content
    if 'Document' == portal_type:
        zope_factory['Document'].manage_addDocumentAction(id)
    elif 'Some Type' == portal_type:
        zope_factory['Some Type'].manage_addSomeTypeAction(id)
    else:
        raise 'Error adding portal_type'
    # get the newly added content
    obj = getattr(parent, id)
    # Add the title
    obj.title = title
    return obj
