Hi Gilles, Thanks for your help.
I already did something similar but it looks like more like a workaround.
My need is to make a getFeature wfs-request giving a polygon (or any other
geom) as a filter and then grouping the result in a sum.

The table:

inhabitants
-----------------------
the_geom (point)
number_of_inhabitants (number of person living in the point coordinate)

The request could be something like that:

<wfs:GetFeature xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs";
xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc";
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"; xmlns:my="http://www.myns.ch";
outputFormat="GML2" version="1.1.0" service="WFS">
  <wfs:Query typeName="my:inhabitants">
   <wfs:Function name="Collection_Sum">
     <wfs:PropertyName>number_of_inhabitants</wfs:PropertyName>
   </wfs:Function>  
   <Filter>
      <Intersects>
        <PropertyName>the_geom</PropertyName>
        <gml:Box srsName="21781">
          <gml:coordinates>701633.0,141786.0 
709477.0,151000.0</gml:coordinates>
        </gml:Box>
      </Intersects>
    </Filter>
  </wfs:Query>
</wfs:GetFeature>

But it doesn't work.. :-(

Where am I wrong?
