In OptionalHandlerFactory an assumption is made that DOM classes are always found and this is not true for embedded environments.(compact profile1)

    static {
        Class<?> doc = null, node = null;
        try {
            node = org.w3c.dom.Node.class;
            doc = org.w3c.dom.Document.class;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // not optimal but will do
            Logger.getLogger(OptionalHandlerFactory.class.getName())
                .log(Level.INFO, "Could not load DOM `Node` and/or `Document` classes: no DOM support");
        }
        CLASS_DOM_NODE = node;
        CLASS_DOM_DOCUMENT = doc;
    }

In NoClassDefFoundError is an Error not an Exception (NoClassNotFoundException).

Is there a workaround to disable the checking of optional handlers on embedded environments?

Looks like ode needs to catch Throwable instead of Exception.
No, there is no separate setting as catch block is supposed to cover the case you are observing: unfortunately it is difficult to test on regular JVMs.

NOTE: similar code in Java7Handlers.java catch Throwable properly, so this is an oversight. Will fix for 2.10.2 (will actually fix in 2.9 branch, just in case new versions might be released).
