Vojtěch, Questions are welcome :)
I assume you wanted to say JavaScript instead of Java, if JS is heavily used, then yes the web_spider is "almost useless". Well, the scan of the target URL can't be prevented, but if you set the URL to http://target.com/ and disable web_spider, then w3af won't have any parameters to find vulnerabilities in and the target is "ignored" (most likely, haven't tested it).
