If the first guy can't show any Java experience, I probably will choose the second one.
However, if there is a person with actual Java work experience against a person with SCBCD, but no work experience. I definitely will pick the one with experience.
Surely, certification implies you studied a lot, but work experience seem to be more important (at least, it happened to me in my job interview).
