I created serial workflow which works perfectly in Alfresco web client: initiator selects actor next in line to perform task, selected actor upon receiving task selects another, another actor selects another… you get the picture… 
I tried to replicate this behavior in Java. I can select task, but I'm unable to pass next actor to workflow. I tried to use updateTask method from workflow services, but task is not updated with next actor, so I get error that task variable is not defined.

I solved the problem, so this thread can be closed.
It seems that I approached this problem wrong way. My assumption that I have to set properties first before updateTask was wrong. Right approach is to signal task first, then from path end old task with endTask, and then update new task from path, especially with bpm
wner value which will transfer task to the new owner.
