Thanks for your previous explanations : it's clear in my mind, now !

My first idea with this problem was to say : a content object can be
modified several times during a request execution, sometimes by other
content objects and not only by simple editing forms (which
automatically fire IObjectModifiedEvent), and I want some kind of
expensive application logic (for example, reindexing) to be applied only
once, when all modifications are done.
So the IEndRequestEvent was, to me, a good place to handle this kind of
methods ; but your previous explanation show that I was wrong.
I also thought about using some kind of request annotations or volatile
attributes, but as event handlers are fired synchronously, I thing that
I can't know if there are more modifications to come before the end of
the request or not.
In fact, I thing that what I should need is a kind of
"IBeforeEndRequestEvent", an event which would be fired before the end
of the request, but when transactions and local utilities are still
available...

Of course, any kind of complement would as always be very welcome...

Thanks,
Thierry
