Override PlainDocument and use that in your text field.

you can use jformattedfieldtext and use maskformatter to give it a format to limit the number of characters, for example:

MaskFormatter formatter = null;

try {

formatter = new MaskFormatter("####"); //4 numbers only

} catch (java.text.ParseException exc) {

System.err.println("formatter is bad: " + exc.getMessage());

System.exit(-1);

}

JFormattedTextField jFormattedTextField = new JFormattedTextField(formatter);

good luck
