Input validation methods using awt in Java

The document describes a Java Swing application that implements a custom JTextField called NumericTextField, which only allows numeric input and restricts the length of the input to a specified limit. It includes a main method to launch the UI and a DocumentFilter to enforce the numeric and length restrictions. The NumericAndLengthFilter class checks if the input is numeric and ensures that the total length does not exceed the defined limit.
