In today's competitive world, Certifications does provides an upper hand toward's achieving your career in I.T. Software architects are expected to be able to understand and communicate high-level design concepts to programmers and also to improve their designing concept. Thus, the SCEA (Sun Certified Enterprise Architect) certification puts a lot of emphasis on design concepts and less on concrete APIs(Aplication programming Interface). The concepts tested on the Java Architect exam are quite broad and cover a variety of topics. Here are some of the books you can refer to:
UML distilled by Martin Fowler. Design Patterns book by Gamma, et. al. Enterprise JavaBeans by Richard Monson-Haefel.
