How can I prevent further input once x # of characters have been entered
into either a JTextField or a JTextArea control?  I know that the answer
lies somewhere in tweaking either control's document model, but I'm not sure
what method to call, or when.

Does anybody have any ideas, suggestions, or code samples on this one?  Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
David Jensen
