In support of Groovy's dynamic method dispatch

Came across a design issue today where we really could have used Groovy's dynamic dispatch and multi-method support to invoke the proper method based on the interrogation of the runtime type of an object instance passed as a parameter to the method.  This blog posting by MrHaki gives a great description of how Groovy solves this problem without the need of a double dispatch pattern implementation.  We're writing our code in Java, so we don't get the Groovy goodness of dynamic method dispatch and multi-methods.  We resorted to a double dispatch implementation to solve our problem.  We did not use the instanceof operator and a whole bunch of conditionals.
