It is not a Head First but it is very good:
First of all sorry for my english, i'm brazilian.
I bought this book after the pain of reading the Study Guide from Sun Microsystems, so it was really good. There are some mistakes that would confuse some inexperienced developers, but the level of skill required for the certification would make the own reader fix it.

Excellent J2EE Review For Advanced Developers:

I have 8 years career with software development specially in java, i reached to a point am doing system architecture most of the time, but i can say i was doing it from the point of view of "House Architect", now i can see things from Tower Building Architect, or City Architect in the extreme.
I did not pass the certificate yet so i dont know how much it is useful on this matter.
