Ebean: use dynamic entity class in runtime for bulk update query?

What's the best approach in Ebean to execute a generalized (on a BaseEntity) bulk update query? I.e. something similar to the following Spring Data example:

update #{#entityName} e
set e.deletedDate = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
where e in :entities

I understand Ebean has createUpdate method for bulk updates, but it requires writing the exact entity type in the query ("topic" in the below example):

DB.createUpdate(Topic.class, "update topic set ... where ...");

I can replace Topic.class with some clazz variable, but I don't how to replace "topic" in the query string with something like BaseEntity.

P.S. No I don't want to use standard Ebean soft delete feature.
