Question

I would just like to know what is that one property which when set would mark the order as failed so that failureAction() of app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/controller/OnepageController.php gets called.

I have an Observer.php where in I’m creating invoice for successful payments and for failed payments saving order with pending_payment status and wanting to redirect them to the cart page with an error message at the top.

All this happens fine. Just that for unsuccessful / failed payments, along with saving the order with pending_payment status n redirecting them to cart page with error message, I would also like to retain/save the cart from getting empty.

But to no luck

Observer.php

 public function implementOrderStatus($event)
 {
    $order = $event->getEvent()->getOrder(); 
    if ($this->_getPaymentMethod($order) == 'mypaymentmodule') 
    {
                $quote = Mage::getModel('sales/quote')->load($order->getQuoteId());
        if($order->getPayment()->getCcTransId() == NULL)
        {
            $order->cancel();
            $order->setStatus('canceled');
            $order->save();
            $quote->setIsActive(1)->save();
            /*$state = 'pending_payment';
            $status = 'pending_payment';
            $comment = 'Payment transaction failed due to incorrect AVS/CVD details.';
            $isNotified = false;
            $order->setState($state,$status,$comment,$isNotified)->save();
            $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);*/

            Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->addError('Sorry, either of your card information (billing address or card validation digits) dint match. Please try again');                 

            Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect('checkout/cart/')->sendResponse();
        }
       else
       {
           if ($order->canInvoice())

            $this->_processOrderStatus($order);
       }
    }
    return $this;
}

But $quote->setIsActive(true)->save() does not seem to be doing the trick. Any help as to how can I save my cart from getting empty after saving the order with ‘canceled’ status.

You maybe should have a look at ./app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php. There you will find several constants for an order, which may be used to set the state of an order like this:

<?php
// [...] all your code within your custom action or script

//load your order by order_id (or by increment_id, if you like to, here, it's your order id
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($your_order_id);
$order->setState(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_CANCELED); //or whatever distinct order status you'd like
$order->save();

The failureAction in the controiller action does nothing of the sort, if you want to call it manually, you can build it’s url using Mage::getUrl()
