How do I restrict an user from exceeding data of a particular length in a TEXTAREA like we do with a text box using the maxlength attribute?

The first one (client side check) has to be written with a language like JavaScript. It's a simple check that doesn't allow to submit the form if the size of the field is greater than your max.
The second solution (server side) is written in the language you're using (probably java) and it does the same thing, but after the form has been submitted.
