[ndnSIM] Getting hold on the face object

[Alex Afanasyev]

Hi Ayush,

What is "this" in your code?

ndn::Face is not "Object" and is definitely not aggregated (in NS-3 terms) with any other object.  Therefore, you cannot call GetObject<ndn::Face>().  Depending on what "this" represents, there should be a path to get hold of the face (get NetDevice,  get Node,  from Node, get L3Protocol, from L3Protocol find NetDeviceFace that corresponds to NetDevice).
