In Spring 3.x Spring introduced the Spring Expression Language, and yes you can do that with the Spring Expression Language SPel

<property name="bean2Property" value="#{bean1.propertyName}"/>

I wouldn't exactly call it similar, but if they both have a same value, you can use Bean Definition inheritance.

<bean id="parentStuff abstract="true">
    <property name="someName" value="someValue"/>
</bean>

<bean id="beanA" parent="parentStuff" class="….

<bean id="beanB" parent="parentStuff" class="…...

But the property name has to be the same in both A and B beans.

You could also move the value into a .properties file and use the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.
