If you can use Javascript (and can require it), what you could do is set a
timer in app B's onLoad event to call a Javascript function in app A from app B
(parent.myFunction();)... This function could refresh whatever the current page
is in some interval less than your timeout period. You'll have to ensure all
pages of app A have that refresh function in page-scope, and that all pages in
B set that timer and make the call.
If a full-page refresh isn't feasible, you can make an AJAX call to app A that
does really nothing, but that should be enough to keep the session from timing
out.
Does that all make sense? (I'm not sure I described it well)

Subject: Re: Sessions and keep-alives
I've considered iframes, but unfortunately not an option for us.

from the webapplication only, not on behalf of another. So if the
popup application is webapp B, and the parent webapp A, how can I call
the webapp A server from webapp B for the keep-alive?
