This is to be achieved using the CSS resize property which needs to be set to none.

E.g.

<h:inputTextarea ... style="resize: none" />

or, better,

<h:inputTextarea ... styleClass="unresizable" />

with this in a fullworthy CSS file

.unresizable {
    resize: none;
}

The same story applies to the PrimeFaces equivalent <p:inputTextarea>. You wasn't exactly clear on which one you were using. Your question title and body implied standard JSF, but you tagged PrimeFaces.
