Pixel Tollerance for getFeatureInfo requests should be configurable on a per 
layer basis

                 Key: GEOS-2371
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2371
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0 
         Environment: N/A
            Reporter: Darren
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor


When performing a getFeatureInfo request, geoserver by default has a 2pixel 
tollerance.  This is OK for "large" objects like polygons but for points or 
lines it's far too small - requiring precise mouse control.  The tollerance is 
unfortunaley hard-coded into geoserver.  The tollerance should be made 
configurable as part of the layer configuration in geoserver.  So for a layer 
containing point data, the tollerance could be increased to 16 for instance.  
This is particularly relevant when using symbols, where you want a larger 
tollerance so that you can click anywhere within the symbol and get the data as 
required rather than only in the centre of the symbol.
