Get node name for the executed custom action in magnolia cms

Question

I created a custom action in magnolia cms called MyAction. I would like to get the node name of the page on which the action is executed. Instead I am getting an empty string for the page name.

This is the code:

package ch.xxx.module.versioning;

import info.magnolia.ui.api.action.Action;
import info.magnolia.ui.api.action.ActionExecutionException;

import javax.jcr.LoginException;
import javax.jcr.RepositoryException;
import javax.jcr.Session;

import info.magnolia.context.Context;
import info.magnolia.context.MgnlContext;



public class MyAction implements Action  {


    @Override
    public void execute() throws ActionExecutionException {
        String nodeName= "null";

        Context context = MgnlContext.getInstance();
        Session session = null;
        try {
            session = context.getJCRSession("website");
        } catch (LoginException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (RepositoryException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        //Get root node
        try {
            nodeName = session.getRootNode().getName();
        } catch (RepositoryException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        System.out.println("Executed MyAction for node: " + nodeName);
    }
}

Thanks @Ducaz035!

Here is the solution that worked for the custom action:

public class MyAction extends AbstractMultiItemAction<zzzVersioning>  {


public MyAction(zzzVersioning definition, JcrItemAdapter item, UiContext uiContext) {
                super(definition, item, uiContext);
                // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
            }



@Override
public void execute() {
    try {
        System.out.println("Ran execute Action! " + getItems().get(0).getJcrItem().getName());
    } catch (RepositoryException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}



@Override
public void executeOnItem(JcrItemAdapter item) throws Exception {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}



@Override
protected String getSuccessMessage() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}



@Override
protected String getFailureMessage() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

}

Here is the code for the custom action definition:

public class zzzVersioning extends CommandActionDefinition {

    public zzzVersioning() {
        this.setImplementationClass(MyAction.class);
    }
}
