I have uploaded [^OFBIZ-10593_Implement-EntityConditionVisitor-properly.patch]  which is a WIP patch trying to improve the situation by using the following {{EntityConditionVisitor}} interface:

{code:java}
public interface EntityConditionVisitor {
    <T extends EntityCondition> void visit(EntityJoinOperator op, List<T> conditions);
    <L extends EntityCondition, R extends EntityCondition> void visit(EntityJoinOperator op, L lhs, R rhs);
    <L,R,T> void visit(EntityOperator<L, R, T> op, L lhs, R rhs);
    <L,R> void visit(EntityComparisonOperator<L, R> op, L lhs, R rhs);
    void visit(EntityConditionValue.ConstantNumberValue value);
    void visit(EntityFieldValue value);
    void visit(EntityExpr expr);
    <T extends EntityCondition> void visit(EntityConditionList<T> list);
    void visit(EntityFieldMap fieldMap);
    void visit(EntityConditionFunction func, EntityCondition nested);
    <T extends Comparable<?>> void visit(EntityFunction<T> func);
    void visit(EntityWhereString condition);
    void visit(EntityDateFilterCondition condition);
}
{code}

I am still puzzled by the presence of {{visit}} methods with multiple arguments, so I will work with [~gil portenseigne] on understanding the functional logic of the {{EntityCondition}} class hierarchy to check if that weirdness make sense.

> {{EntityConditionVisitor}} interface is supposed to implement the visitor pattern which supposes a set of classes meant to be visited using an {{accept}} method and a visitor with multiple {{visit}} method overloads (one for each visited class).
> Currently {{EntityConditionVisitor}} contains both {{accept}} and {{visit}} methods which make *no sense*
> {code:java}
> public interface EntityConditionVisitor {
>     <T> void visit(T obj);
>     <T> void accept(T obj);
>     void acceptObject(Object obj);
>     void acceptEntityCondition(EntityCondition condition);
>     <T extends EntityCondition> void acceptEntityJoinOperator(EntityJoinOperator op, List<T> conditions);
>     <L,R,T> void acceptEntityOperator(EntityOperator<L, R, T> op, L lhs, R rhs);
>     <L,R> void acceptEntityComparisonOperator(EntityComparisonOperator<L, R> op, L lhs, R rhs);
>     void acceptEntityConditionValue(EntityConditionValue value);
>     void acceptEntityFieldValue(EntityFieldValue value);
>     void acceptEntityExpr(EntityExpr expr);
>     <T extends EntityCondition> void acceptEntityConditionList(EntityConditionList<T> list);
>     void acceptEntityFieldMap(EntityFieldMap fieldMap);
>     void acceptEntityConditionFunction(EntityConditionFunction func, EntityCondition nested);
>     <T extends Comparable<?>> void acceptEntityFunction(EntityFunction<T> func);
>     void acceptEntityWhereString(EntityWhereString condition);
>     void acceptEntityDateFilterCondition(EntityDateFilterCondition condition);
> }
> {code}
> this confusion is visible in the {{EntityCondition}} which has both a {{visit}} and an {{accept}} method, even if it is only supposed to accept a visitor.
