I actually found a much better way to do this. If you have a hidden form field with a blank value that you name the same thing as your checkbox, then something always gets passed with the form. If you don't have the checkbox checked, then just a blank field with that name gets passed. If the checkbox is checked, then the proper value is checked. It is a very slick solution to this problem I think.
A simplistic version of this for anybody who didn't understand my explanation: <html:checkbox name="testName" property="testProp" indexed="true" /> <html:hidden name="testName" property="testProp" indexed="true" value="" /> I assume this would work the same if you weren't using indexed properties as well.
