Yep. Scratch the indexed properties comment. On each iteration, Struts will iterate over the selectedServices comparing the selectedServices value to the service.status value. If it finds a match, then it will render the checkbox as checked. So, the fact that the data structures are not the same size isn't a factor.
In Rick's example, he compares String to String. You may be able to compare int to String or boolean to String because I think BeanUtils performs simple conversions for you, but byte to String...
