According to the source code you can't.

So it will always serialize org.apache.axis.types.Time as UTC.
Some time ago I solved such problem by patching the source code by hand.
The reason for this is because date and time values in XML for web
services are *always* UTC - that's how XML schema defines them. If you
really want to transfer times in a particular time zone, write a
serializer/deserializer that will convert them to a format like
<time>12:45:00PDT</time>. In schema terms this will not be a time value;
but you can make it an xsd:string and just define your own conventions
for handling it.
