How can I reverse geocode through bing using javascript?

Question

I have the address of a location, and I'm trying to find its latitude/longitude from the bing service using javascript or java. How would I do this?

That's just geocoding, not reverse-geocoding. See the REST API documentation of Bing Maps to geocode an address - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701711.aspx. Using the API requires you to signup (free) for a key. — Anurag, Mar 21 '11 at 08:56

I think the new way to do that is by using their REST service documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701715.aspx.

For example:

http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?key=BingMapsKey&query=White House
or
http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?key=BingMapsKey&query=1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC
