jsf boolean checkbox with ui-repeat

I have a List of items that I would like to print on the webpage. For each item in the list I want to display a checkbox. When clicked on the checkbox the status of the item should be toggled.

TodoItem has a property Status that I want to update.

Status

public enum Status {
    Active,
    Completed,
    Archived
}

Jsf Page

<ui:repeat value="#{todoBean.selectedList.todoItems}" var="todoItem">
    <h:form id="todoItemStatus">
        <h:selectBooleanCheckbox class="filled-in" id="todo-item" value="#{todoItem.status}">
            <f:ajax listener="#{todoBean.toogleTodoItemStatus(todoItem)}" />
        </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>

        <h:outputLabel for="todo-item" value="#{todoItem.title}" />
    </h:form>
</ui:repeat>

I have read that I cannot use converter in the selectBooleanCheckbox. When the checkbox is clicked, I want to update the TodoItem.status to either completed or active.

How can I achieve this without adding another list in the backing bean?

Why not add two additional methods:

public Boolean getBooleanStatus() {
    return status == Status.ACTIVE ? true : false; // But then what you really want
} 

public void setBooleanStatus(Boolean boolStatus) { 
    this.status = boolStatus == true ? Status.ACTIVE : Status.COMPLETED; // But then what you really want
}

And in the xhtml: 

<h:selectBooleanCheckbox class="filled-in" id="todo-item" value="#{todoItem.boolenStatus}">

But I do notice you have a 'tri-state' Status. Does that not cause a problem?
