name="status" means that you are trying to pass the status object itself as
a parameter to a method setStatus. That is not possible--you need to pass
the id of the status if you want to indicate which status the user chose,
like this for example:
<s:select key="form.status" name="id"
list="statusList"
listKey="id"
listValue="description"/>
You also need setId method in the action you submit the form to.
