Bing aerial imagery returns "Attribution is not loaded yet" error

[t-matsuu]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Launch JOSM.
2. Using the web browser, go to the OSM Web site and view an area.
3. Load an area into JOSM using "Edit -> Remote Control" from the OSM web interface.
4. Load "Bing aerial imagery" into JOSM.

What is the expected result?

Bing aerial imagery loads correctly.

What happens instead?

Bing aerial imagery does not load with the error message "Attribution is not loaded yet".
And then the bug reporting dialog pops up.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

JOSM rev. 19307 runs on win11 x64 through OpenWebStart 1.11.1.

Yesterday it worked fine.
So this may be a server side issue.

I don't know if this is related to this issue, but the URL configuration for Bing aerial imagery is slightly different between JOSM and OSM Editor Layer Index by OSM Lab.

Closed as duplicate of #24116.

[t-matsuu]

The problem is critical and we hope that a fixed version will be released without waiting for a regular release.

[stoecker]

The fix only fixes an illegal access with the fallback. JOSM will then fall back to the old key which anyway has trouble (#23913). That should actually not happen at all. It would help if you can help solve the question "Why does the key retrieval not work on your system" so the fallback gets activated.

No idea if this helps. Yesterday I encountered the problem on my PC. The JOSM instance was active for some days (hybernated multiple times). I then compiled JOSM latest (19312) and started it with --debug.
Unfortunately I didn't keep the log but I think that I saw many calls like this

GET https://ecn.t2.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a12023001020130.jpeg?g=15002&pr=odbl

before any call to actually retrieve valid attribution data.
I also tried to rename the file bing.attribution.xml to make sure that JOSM retrieves a new one before actually trying to get tiles.
I think I still saw the GET requests before the message

WARNING: java.io.IOException: Attribution is not loaded yet

Today I started the tested version again and Bing works again.
I still have the renamed copy of the bing.attribution.xml in case this can help.
