Oracle chokes on date format sent from Kendo DataSource - oracle

Question

I have a DataSource which passes Odata to Teiid and then on to Oracle. However, Oracle is choking when I try to pass it a date from a Kendo DataSource. I think it's because Oracle does not recognize a date string of the format it sends - for instance, 2014-07-01T05:00:00.000Z - as valid. Here's the error I get:
avax.persistence.RollbackException: Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.4.1.v20121003-ad44345): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: org.teiid.jdbc.TeiidSQLException: TEIID30504 JTRAC_DEV_ENV: 1843 TEIID11013:TEIID11004 Error executing statement(s): [Prepared Values: ['2014-07-01T05:00:00.000Z', 700281, 700280] SQL: UPDATE "JTRAC"."MAPPED_HISTORY" SET "TIME_STAMP" = ? WHERE "JTRAC"."MAPPED_HISTORY"."HISTORY_ID" = ? AND "JTRAC"."MAPPED_HISTORY"."ITEM_ID" = ?]
Error Code: 1843
Call: UPDATE "JTRAC.MAPPED_HISTORY" SET "TIME_STAMP" = ? WHERE ((("HISTORY_ID" = ?) AND ("ITEM_ID" = ?)) AND ("TEIID_MULTI_DATA_SOURCE_COLUMN" = ?))

How do I change the timestamp into something that will work? I've tried intercepting it with both parameterMap (doesn't seem to convert it yet by that stage - still fairly normal time format), requestStart (I can't seem to access the data to tamper with it) and parse (isn't working the way I expect it to). For the record, there's an INSTEAD OF Oracle trigger on the other end because ultimately I am updating a view. Thoughts?
Here's the trigger I'm using:
create or replace
trigger update_mapped_history
INSTEAD OF UPDATE ON mapped_history
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
new_status_id number;
new_assigned_to number;
new_logged_by number;
new_timestamp timestamp;
cmmd VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
cmmd:='alter session set NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT=''YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH:MI:SS.FF"Z"''';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE cmmd;
SELECT status_id INTO new_status_id FROM status_int_mapping WHERE status_label=:NEW.status AND space_id = (select i.space_id from items i where i.id = :OLD.item_id);
SELECT id INTO new_assigned_to FROM users WHERE login_name = :NEW.assigned_to;
SELECT id INTO new_logged_by FROM users WHERE login_name = :NEW.logged_by;
select FROM_TZ(TO_TIMESTAMP(:NEW.time_stamp, 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH:MI:SS.FF"Z"'),'UTC') at time zone 'US/Central' into new_timestamp from dual;
UPDATE history SET
logged_by = new_logged_by,
status = new_status_id,
assigned_to = new_assigned_to,
jt_comment = :NEW.jt_comment,
time_stamp = new_timestamp
WHERE id=:OLD.history_id;
END;
Here's my code in all its glory.

Either use an explicit TO_TIMESTAMP() function, or set the NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT in the client.
