What are the pre-requisites to execute AJAX applications on a server?

Question

I have a web application which is deployed on a Tomcat server (version 7). I have set the session timeout value as 10 minutes in the web.xml file. In pages with no Ajax call, the session time out value is reset promptly. But it is not renewed on pages with Ajax calls. Web application is taking user back to Login screen even though some activity is happening on the page (with Ajax).

Can anyone help me?

AJAX is a built-in functionality of .NET Framework 4.0 and AJAX application can be executed by just installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. To use extenders in your applications, you are required to install AJAX Control Toolkit and copy the AjaxControlToolkit.dll file to the Bin directory of your application.
