Places one product in one category, forming the many to many link between products and the catalogue tree. A product is in a category only if one of these rows exists, so a product in three categories has three rows and removing it from a category deletes the row rather than changing the product. The link also records who filed the product there and when. Both sides hold the link in their productInCategorys list, so create and delete through the helpers on this class rather than adding to those lists directly, and changes are audited.
