There has been an issue with the
SCEA and
SCJD exams database. Some people were sent certificates without their exams having been graded by Sun, and I believe others passed without receiveing certificates (as you indicate).
While their site was down for a while yesterday, they are aware of the problem at Prometric, and will hopefully resolve this quickly.
