Hi Alin, How about using <isNotNull /> or <isNotEmpty />?
<insert id="insertExample" parameterClass="com.test.Example"> INSERT INTO vjobs ( name, status <isNotNull property="description" prepend=","> description </isNotNull> ) VALUES ( #name#, #status# <isNotNull property="description" prepend=","> #description# </isNotNull> ) </insert> I haven't tested this, but it should work.
